Re: heard this one yet????

I check for vacuum leaks with a propane torch, unlit with gas just on. Start the engine and wave the torch end gas around the possible vacuum leak areas. All the intake, carb, vacuum ports, all of the intake system. If the RPM's go up in any location there is a leak. But it does sound like you're starving for gas. Any black smoke after it picks up out of the exhaust?
