If you have a leak, your idle will speed up a bit. Try going in from the left side of the motor. You dont want the propane just entering thru the air cleaner giving you a false result.

Just a trickle of propane

. You dont want or need it blasting out of the UNLIT torch.

spray a little carb cleaner around the intake and if there is a leak the engine will rev up.
