Hi all --
I'm pretty sure my car has a major vacuum leak around the carburetor, as the car will start and only run for a few seconds and is impossible to keep running. In addition there is a whistling noise. I've checked the vacuum lines and they look okay; i'm worried though that a line that I cannot see may be leaking, though, or that the base gasket may be bad.
What is the best way to find a vacuum leak? I thought using smoke would be good although having a lit match above a carburetor is a recipe for death. Is there any other good way to do this?
I've installed a second carburetor with the same symptoms as the first, so i'm thinking its not an internal carb problem.
Thanks, car is a 1986 Honda CRX 1.5.
