What's the year & model....?

Could be something other than the carb, like the VOES (Vacuum Operated Switch), or a dirty/bad VSS (year/model dependent)......

For starters;
I'd pull the carb and do a thorough cleaning, replacing any wear parts along the way... When reinstalling the carb, I'd replace the intake seals, and then readjust the carb....
