Greg,
A couple of thoughts:
1. What is your idle speed? It should be about 700 rpm ish.
2. Is the wire connected to the solenoid at the carb? Is that
solenoid working?
3. Have you rebuilt the carb reciently? I'm thinking maybe some dirt in the
idle jets.
4. EGR valve incorrectly starting to open.
5. Possibly a vacuum leak?
