Carb Tuning / Vacuum Problems?

Considering I've gone at least 2k miles on it with the coil wired backwards, I think my next investment will probably be a new coil.

Definitely definitely runs better with that fixed. Tuning is a lot more responsive so now it's just a matter of getting it dialed in and replacing anything that needs replaced.

On an unrelated note, this gives me a lot of confidence that the rest of the engine was built well...
