Mine has always idled pretty smooth, except one time when the carburetor
float valve stuck open and gas overflowed into the bore. If mixture,
timing, plugs, and points all check out fairly ok, try a compression
check. That will tell you if you have a burnt valve, or some other type
of problem. Also, don't forget to check your vacuum advance on the
distributor for any leaks.
Good Luck,
