always check the points, it is surprising how some ignition problems can seem like carb problems
I'd start there too. 80% of problems like these you are having is point related, and you just came off a 1500 mile tour---- time to reset the points especially if they were new and the rubbing block is now worn a tad. I'd do that first and then check/clean the carb.

Are you running a Zenith? Have you flow tested the jets, or gotten a GOOD pair already flow tested from Renner's? I had this once on the '29 Tudor. Points checked out fine but some crud had gotten into the secondary well. Cleaned it up, cleaned out the little holes in the bottom and it was off to the races!! Hope the secondary well fixture comes out OK they can be a bear if it's been a while.
