sure if a hose is broken will get bad idle but not rough running at 3500 under load and if a hose is busted you will find it in 2 seconds when running with the cowl off.

There is no vacuum operating the system the crankcase pumps it through the one way valves in to bypass covers hence finding a broken hose is very easy.

squeeze all the hoses shut and see it it goes away
also check the hoses from the primer solenoid.

Could also be a stuck open valve in one of the nipples in the inlet manifold
Could have a vacuum leak elsewhere but very rare in that design unless a carb is about to fall off
once you are inside the crankcase a vacuum leak is also a pressure leak
so only between carbs and reeds
