That implies there was a problem with the vacuum pipe or the vacuum capsule 
on the distributor, i.e. a leak.  In normal use there is no flow through the 
vacuum pipe other than the tiny amount needed to deflect the diaphragm.  If 
there is a leak it will pull through air constantly and weaken the mixture. 
Can't speak for a Weber but with SUs and Zenith (and I can't see the Weber 
being any different) vacuum advance gives sharper part throttle acceleration 
and improved cruising economy.
