A small leak in one of the connec- tions of the vacuum system some- times makes it {mpossible to main- tain the proper fuel level in the tank, especially when the pulling is hard. Such leaks are indicated by the h!; ing sound which is produced at the point of leakage, but the loud hissing of the suction through the carburetor makes it difficult to hear. A good method of locating the leak 18 to pruceed as follows: Remove the screws which fasten the carburetor to the engine, cut a plece of card- board large enough to replace the gasket which 1s used at this point, but do not cut a hole in it. Then re- place the carburetor with the card- board between it and the engine Then when the engine is turned over the suction will be through the vacu- um line only, and the leak will be in- dicated by the hissing sound.
