Thanks. I've been looking for obvious, visual intake leaks and don't see any. My recently rebuilt warm up regulator had below accepted range control pressure readings = rich running condition. Have sent faulty WUR back to IMC for new rebuild. I imagine I have to have car running to do vacuum test?

Yes. Have you tried spraying starting fluid around the manifold and vacuum lines to spot leaks? I don't know if you're familiar with the Nichols 928 tips page, but someone once posted a tip for creating manifold pressure without having to run the vehicle by forcing air through the AFM and then listening for air leaks. Though, I have not done that, it sounds like it would be very effective as the noise from the vehicle running would not be a distraction.
Here's the link from Greg's site... www.nichols.nu/tip367.htm

I have sprayed with no results. I have a '78 928 with K basic CIS--no afm. but I may be able to put vacuum pump on intake plenum and look for reduction in vacuum. but I am quite sure WUR is the problem.

My limited knowledge of K-jet systems tells me that your suspicion is probably right. The WUR doesn't seem to respond well to sitting for very long as I presume your car did. Eliminating the easiest and/or cheapest possibilities first is always the way I work, though.
Just out of curiosity, what were your findings when you checked the system's control pressure?

Control pressure warm without vacuum was 2.3 bar should be 2.8-3.2. Control pressure warm with vacuum was 3 bar should be 3.4 - 3.8.
