submerge it underwater :P

JUST KIDDING!!!! DO NOT TRY THAT!!!! IT WILL BREAK!!!!

you can try a technique from my wrench turning days... Spray some break cleaner around the engine and if it speeds up, you found your air leak. Only trouble is I dont know if the break cleaner will make the engine run faster like an automobile engine. Also, not everyone has that stuff laying around the house...

worth a try tho.

Try using window cleaner if you don't have brake or carb cleaner. The RPM should drop down if you have and air leak. It will do the job.

WD 40 works good too.

Ok after you spray the engine with wd 40 how do you fix the leak? so if the RPMs drop when you spray the engine there is a leak? What about air in the gas line how do i fix this? Also i was told i could do a search on sealing an engine but i cant find it, so does anyone know how to properly seal an engine?
