There are several methods for locating vacuum leaks. Occasionally, you may experience a vacuum leak into the intake ports from the crankcase of the motor due to the intake manifold / cylinder head interface not being machined parallel. No amount of propane or carburetor cleaner will find such a leak. The best way is to insure the elimination of such a problem while building the engine. See the wiki article: [[Manifold/Head vacuum leak, internal]].

#Start the engine and let it warm up a bit.

#Turn on the propane and run the hose all around the vacuum lines and the bottom of the carb.
 +
#If the engine smooths out or revs up a bit, you have found your leak.
 +

Hold bottle UPRIGHT during testing as liquid propane may run out of an inverted bottle.
 +
 
 +
PLEASE do this in a well ventilated area due to propane gas and exhaust fumes!!

Fixing a leak. My old neighbor built circle track cars and after the ran the engine  he would shut it off...tape off every opening with duct tape then put a hose over the dip stick and hook up to a vacuum source. He would then get his stethascope and listen in the area where the propane or carb fluid indicated a leak. he used Rtv and calked into the area until the stethascope whistle stopped. too much vacuum will pull too much calk into the hole.

 +
=Carburetor cleaner method=
 +
#With the car running, using a can of carburetor cleaner spray down the hoses and vacuum connections.
 +
#Notice a change in the running of the engine and you might have found your leak.
