Check any electric components?

heh, ya. stator seems to test fine. I replaced the R/R since my charge was low, and now I'm right where I need to be. I also have the new R/R wired directly to the batter to remove the crimp situation, etc. It has spark up until the moment it dies on me. I was thinking of possibly being the pickup coil, since it sounded similar to other people having an issue there, but from my understanding that would prevent spark (and since I have spark, that doesn't make sense). Tested the coil while "cool" and it was right where it needed to be.
BTW I tested the fuel pump yesterday, and while not sure if there is a better way, just ran the fuel line to a glass measuring cup. When it clicks upon turning the key, fuel pumps out (what I would consider quite a bit). On the few clicks it makes at the beginning, it was about 1/3 of a cup.
Situation has only gotten worse as I've worked on it. Originally it would cut out on me randomly when it was hot. Now it only idles for a minute or two before it slows down and dies. If I give it just a little gas it seems to run longer, but if it's any more than about 1/8 of a turn on the throttle, it cuts out as well. This is with the choke on (although I've tried turning it off and just giving it a little gas, and it does the same thing).
The weird thing I noticed last night was I decided to hook up my carb tuner (I eyeballed it on the bench, but figured I'd see). Vacuum seems really low even when running and of course almost non-existent right before it dies. I don't know where else I would have a vacuum leak. New rubber boots on the whole thing (carb/vboost). Everything seems seated correctly. Going to try the propane test tonight (but even when I have it running, it idles sporadically so going to be hard to tell).
