I put it into gear and it dies.

I was able to fire it up after school today and I set it at 12deg. and it sat and idled fine.
I started to try and tune the carb but it ran out of gas and only fired up briefly before dying. I can get gas for it Wednesday and then continue to tune on it. (my dad noted that it was at 20hg at slightly above idle and probably 18hg at idle.)

So other than the vacuum leak is that all you changed? Sounds like progress!!
