Your right they're not shearer pipes. They have the name engraved on the mounting bracket. I might guess they could be Vito fat bastards? But I have never seen them in person so I could be wrong
Ignition coils rarely fail. But the sometimes do. Definitely check your plug caps too.
Hard starting like your referring to can also be a sign of low compression. Do a compression check as well.
The hanging idle could be a sign of an air leak somewhere. So I'd recommend doing a leak down test.
These are the things I would check if it were me.
Start with plug caps. Then check coil and plug wires.
High idle, check carb sync and idle settings. Could be cause of your problems too. Also it could be an air leak. Do a leak down test too.
Float height? Not sure what spec is but you mentioned it helped. Really seems like a rich condition as it ran better as the bowls emptied.
Keep in mind as you use less oil in the premix you are richening your air/fuel ratio as well.
Will it Rev out if you take the pipes off and run it briefly?
