Ok...this may sound stupid but it has been bugging me for a while and since I am about finished with my 2 stroke Trail boss I thought Id better ask this. I have worked on 2 stroke motors as much as 4 stroke, so I am very familiar with them. But I have never done a full rebuild on one before. Since I am the only one here who really does these kind of motors, no one really has an answer for me.
My question is, are you supposed to have oil (of any sort) in the crank area of the bottom end when you put it together? The reason I ask is because I had an old snowmachine, and we replaced the gaskets, and when I took it apart there was 10w30 oil in the crankcase. I didnt think anything of it, and I had the machine for several years without any problems before I finally sold it. Im not sure if I need to do this with the motor Im doing now. Or did I get lucky with the snowmachine and all it needs is the bearings greased/oiled?
