Yes, worn/corroded points will affect idle. Let me see if I understand this, even with the choke on, you still must keep the engine revved to keep it running until it is warmed up. After it is warm, it will idle correctly with the choke off? This does not really sound like a vacuum leak. Either your pilot jets are plugged, or an ignition problem.

I like vintage bikes because they take me away from the clutter of technology that I work with everyday and back to a simpler time of mechanical elegance and simplicity.. "ninadm"

The only way to adjust pilot jets is to change them, or drill them out. I think you are talking about the "air" screw. Screwing it in makes it run richer, and screwing it out leans it out. Also avoid the Sudco brand points. I am not too thrilled with them. vintagecb750.com has the Dihatchi sp brand points, and they work much better.
