I'm pretty sure they are. I'm hoping that the one bypass that was
open about a turn is the cause, along with the open idle mixture
screws. But I think I must also have a vacuum leak, too.

I'll double check, but it should be, since it was that way when I had
the stock generator. It is charging, at least according to the
ammeter. I suppose I could have gotten the two wires backwards
(sense and ignition) on the alternator.

Yep, got that from you page. My pump is supposed to be in that
range, but I'll get a gauge and confirm once it is in.

I'm using a Pertronix, so no points/condenser.

That's what I'm planning, just need to decide one for each carb, or
one for both.
