Not new per say, but my first attempt at a rebuild, I had let it soak in carb cleaner solution stuff for about 36 hours. But because we live in CA I later found out it was the weak, ie environmentally won't workie, solution. We found out because the accelerator pump passage still had varnish from the old gas in it and it would originally not run at all.
As far a vacumn leaks there is only one thing using vacumn and it is the distributor advance, which is a hard line and was checked for leaks by Paul, so we should be good.
Our guess is that the passages have crud in them still. We are going to run some carb cleaner then probably soem acetone through the idle circuit and try and loosen it up. If all else fails I will buy another carb (2BBL) and that adapter plate you posted up here a while ago.
