Is it carbed, or fuel injected? Also, look at the engine, near the distributor, there should be either 12A or 13B cast into the rotor housings. A carb under a blue air cleaner means a 12a, unless someone has made some major mods.

What style carb does it have? A stock nikki has different items to check for the symptoms you describe, than say a weber side draft setup. It does sound like major vacuum leaks though. Could also be a badly tuned carb.
