There is little chance of the rubber manifold leaking; it is held on the spigot off the head with a hose clamp and the very positive Stihl attachment to the carb. All gaskets have been checked and re-checked. The air leak is a logical question though; given that the needles are shut and almost shut etc. etc.
edit:
Actually, it's just the opposite. If there was an air leak in the manifold, the needles would need to be opened further to compensate for the excess air.
....... I'll personally come and fix it!
That is no idle boast! I do admire your confidence.
Should I start saving up?
