When an engine run only on a high vaccum, it may be your electrical. Under high vaccum, less voltage is required due to lower compression because of the lack of air entering your cylinders. The reason I think this might be your problem is because you mentioned the flooding when the engine stops (probably has lots of fuel). When it is running, does it smoke black or dark blue? So, maybe check your coil, plugs, HT wires etc. Hope this will work for you. Joe B
