If you put your hand over the snorkel should the engine die or should it just drop RPM? Or is there another way to test your snorkel?

Thanks James, if the engine does not die but just drop some rpm should I start using silicone on the joints?
I am most definitely not driving into deep water :laugh: but is the easiest way I give you that :laugh:

if it doesnt stall and you are struggling to find where its leaking try spraying brake cleaner around the joints one at a time, if it revs up that ones leaking
