hmmm...

could be that fuck off little idle stop solanoid if you've still got ur nikki carby, fucked idle mix setting, air leak near or around base of the carby or inlet manifold, excess wear in the the throttle butterfly shafts in the carby, dodgy air or fuel filter, one of your vacuum hoses has pulled off either the dizzy or inlet manifold or under the stock air filter (if you're using it), timing is out, check points gap / dwell angle, spark plugs leads arn't cross firing if worn out, spark plug condition, check all electrics to the carby (if it's the nikki), check your throttle return spring is tight enough to pull the throttle completely closed, oil your accelerator cable to reduce friction ... that should cover the basics Smile
