Circuit breaker manufacture are beyond the scope of even advanced
tinkerers. You can buy them fairly cheap at NAPA or other auto
suppliers.

You'll need an inline differential pressure sensor, plus a 5vdc
power supply and appropriate display. Newark Electronics will have
the necessary parts.

======
Leaks in what way? If air leaks, you can check these by spraying
Gumout or equal wherever there is a joint while the motor is idling.
Throttle shafts, vacuum connections, where the carb mounts to the
manifold, etc. If the motor speeds up any, there's an air leak.
Note that even new carbs have some slop in the throttle linkages,
but if there's noticeable slop to where the plates drag the bore,
then the carb needs replacing.
Fuel leakage is obvious, since it stains the carb body and collects
dirt. Often, just removing the carb and tightening all the screws
solves the problem.
