finally got around to start tuning the (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) d-jet, it's acutally run not bad, not too rich, not too lean, good power good response, but the idle hunts a bit,, I know it means that I have a vacuum leak a small one, most of not all the hoses are new only the runner rubber are old but in a good condition, what is the best way to find where is the leak, I have heard of propane??? starter fluid???? pressurising the intake and using a soap solution,,

Have you checked out Brad Anders D-Jet website? Very informative, here's a link to your specific question, and if you haven't already, I'd bookmark the site:

Oh....I always used starting fluid with good results! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
