The modulators are easy to check. Just pull the vacuum lines off, smell for gas, and test with the Mityvac just to be sure.

You can put a gauge on the system and see how fast fuel pressure drops after you shut it off to test for a leaky injector. That will also tell you if you have low control pressure, which would make it run rich.

It might be worth checking the o-ring in the fuel distributor.

Please keep us posted.
