Just spray some soapy water onto your intake, boot, hose to carb, etc... Watch for bubbles, find the bubbles, you've found your leak.

WARNING:......THIS MAY BE DANGEROUS.......

I'm not 100% sure this ok to do or even right, but this sound familar.

Use a propane torch that is not lit and move it around your intake and if the motor increases in RPM there is a leak.

Anyone else hear of this?

starting fluid would be better to use than propane. i have been told this will work on crank seals on a 2 stroke to see if they leak

Just spray WD 40 around any suspected areas , while engine is running, and you will find vacume leak
