I have been a professional mechanic for 20+ years. Cylinder leakage tests are very valuable on 4 stroke engines, but I don’t put a lot of stock in the results on 2 stroke engines. You are only able to test the ring sealing surface in one spot in the cylinder which may be better or worse than the rest of the cylinder.
