surging and rough running

Dave, my comment about the intake manifold is that there are the two copper tubes coming from the bottom (that drip fuel below the exhaust). If it is a vacuum in there why doesn't air go up those tubes?
Air does go up the tubes. Because the tubes have such a small inside diameter & are so long they represent a very small leak. Not enough to affect engine running noticeably.
