Some symptoms of bad crank seals:

- trans oil disappearing
- can't get jetting right
- doesn't run correctly at low RPM (or at idle)

Have you pulled the airbox off and verified that your slide is going all the way down? Some throttle cables have adjustments for length either inbetween the carb and throttle or at the carb. Make sure that's set right at the point where there's no free play.
