Vacuum leak sounds likely.Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Valves set properly? Ignition timing? Air : Fuel Mixture?

My first thought was valves, but vacuum leak sounds more likely..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
