 Can't you just squirt some WD-40 or carb cleaner or something to

Rich
can you tell me more about the squirt test??
I am familiar with the idea for testing for manifold leaks but the carb
concept is new to me.
Where do I squirt the Wd40, ?
Thanks
And many thanks to the other replys, I will need to get into the carbs sooner
or later.
