Re: O.T slightly. Vacuum leak on engine
 

Carb cleaner will slow the engine, starting spray (ether) will speed it up.
It also is explosive..

Kinda a tossup. one is fairly pure ether and the other is a mix of kerosene
like stuff, Xylene, and Acetone.

The petroleum distillates probably make the carb cleaner safer as the like
to smoke rather than flash.


Have you see the new label for STP Cleaners.

"Now with Jet Fuel"!

Why no just label it that they are selling 12 ounces of kerosene for $3.49

Re: O.T slightly. Vacuum leak on engine
 

well after spending the night at work google'n I found a couple choices on
what to spray, it seems some people use carb cleaner, ether, propane and the
least volatile one I saw WD-40. so looks like I'll try out the WD-40 and
see what it does.
