Hi Erich,
All I can meaningfully contribute is that whenever I experience poor running the first thing I do is replace the points. Usually cures it. The state of your ignition system doesn't sound great so I would suggest replacing anything which is less than perfect anyway.
Hard for me to comment usefully about mixture - I use an SU and it never gives me trouble.
I doubt petrol is the problem. I've used all sorts over the years, including paraffin when I was much younger! But never experienced the sort of trouble you describe.
