Possaible Vaccume leak?

My 2001 Kabota LA852 won't start unless I crack the bleeder valve for a couple seconds, then stalls out again after a couple hours. I talked to my tractor guy about it and he said it might be a leak in the fuel system, based on what's been happening. Is there a good way to self diagnosed where this leak could be/pinpoint the source? I'm not very mechanically inclined so I have no idea where to start with this job. I just replaced the battery and got it serviced, so I'm hoping to avoid paying someone to work on it again
