Which coil are you now running? I thought you sorted the issue of the hot coil? Some pics of the carb(s) with fuel lines might help. You mention copper fuel lines and maybe going to rubber? What configuration do you now have? In my thread about persistent fuel leaks, using copper is not suggested by folks. I know you mention the 97s have been gone through, but when I rebuilt my 94, main shaft was loose on the hsg which is a common issue which leads to vacuum leaks. Is there play in the shaft(s)? I also had continuity issues on my helmet when testing it. Might suggest you check continuity/resistance between all components in the electrical path to ground. My points were closed but had no continuity between the contacts. I adjusted them to ensure I could see the spring side of the contact move while adjusted the fixed contact. I even made sure dist hsg was properly grounded as there is a paper gasket between it and the timing gear cover, and the bolts that secure it to cover require sealant as they pass through the cover, so a good metal to metal contact may be difficult between the hsg and the block. Hope this might help as I feel your pain.
