did you do a crank seal check yet??????


No, as stated above, I am not sure how to go about this? Is this when you spray carb cleaner near the seal to see if motor rises rpms?
 
Yes it is.

The first thing you do is to open the clutch cover, then locate the PTO side seal (the one that sits behind the primary clutch) , start the engine and spray start gas onto the seal.

On the MAG side you will have to spray through a little hole in the upper crank half, it is located to the left "starter" mechanism , I think you can see a little part of the flywheel when looking into the hole. Try spraying into that hole, it`s besy to use a little "red" lengthener on the spray so that you can aim better.

Make sure that fluid is coming out of the spray can, especially if it is almost empty, I had that problem when I did this.

If the engine suddenly changes it`s running pattern, rews slightly, when you spray, then you have blown seal.

I video taped my false air seek , you can download the video if you`d like, it`s in post nr.17 in this thread: http://www.totallyamaha.net/forums/showthread.php?t=20167&page=2&pp=10

Just use like a spray starting fluid? Will a carb cleaner work as well?

Yes use starting fluid,, on the mag side you spray in water pump housing,,
you can see the belt through the hole.
 
I don`t mean to correct you daman, but I sprayed in the hole that is "in front" of the waterpump belt check hole... I guess both could work as a spray test hole ?. But the one I used is the on that is closest to the magneto.
