Carburetor cleaner in an aerosol can sprayed on the manifold mating surfaces
will work and not harm things.

Don't think I'd spray brake fluid on the manifold ... could get messy (and DoT5
isn't flammable). Â Propane from an (unlit) torch, maybe?

Subject: [Healeys] car dies at idle
Now that I seem to have sorted the ignition issue I have another problem. After
driving the car for a while and I stop at a light, my car begins to drop rpms
and will then die if I do not blip the gas. Rebuilt carb, and distributor, new
plugs and ignition bits. Could a manifold leak cause this? 3 AM thoughts on the
problem. I'm going to try the brake fluid spray on the manifold trick to see if
the engine changes sounds while idling.
