Vacuum leak! butterfly shafts worn! carb gaskets dried out while sitting!
A bit messy but squirt oil around the key points on the carb with an oilcan and see if it changes anything.

Yeah I would say have a good look at the carb and vacuum pipes, and make sure your timing is OK. It sounds like the Idle mixture adjustment but that sounds to easy.

I'm picking the idle mixture is wrong because of a vacuum leak.
