- Sorry Russel, I can offer no suggestions. I have a question: what are you
- doing wafting all this propane around your engine? i.e., what is `propane
- enrichment' for mixture checking, and how do you look for carb leaks with
- propane?
- I have been looking for a way to find air leaks for a while. Is this what I
- have been looking for?

- Thanks,
