Hi Keith - for the manifold leak possibility, spray instant start around the 
intake manifold joints. If the engine speeds up, that's your problem. I have 
a compression tester if you need one (but surely you haven't revved it that 
hard yet!) Is your vacuum advance take off OK, and is that working properly? 
A simple suck on the tube will show if it is.

Cheers

Peter

Keith -

Look / listen for an intake manifold leak possibly.  Also check
compression - if a cylinder is scored it won't run well at low RPM but
will recover when revved up.
