I saw this trick somewhere but can't remember if I've got it right.
Take a can of Ether and start the car with the air cleaner on and everything in place.
(We all know ether makes cars go Vrooom!, right?
)
Lightly spray around the carb and listen for the RPM's to go up. If they do it's sucking air from the outside and you have a leak.
I'm pretty sure that's how to do it...
Good Luck!
