 Sorry, I just couldn't helpmyself. It's one of "those" nights and oh 
what a mood. Seemed a total shame for it to go to waste.
 Seriouslt now, break out a can of carb cleaner and give the air valves a 
bath and check for vaccuum leaks. Also, be sur there is oil in the dash pots.
If this doesn't help, let me know and we'll take it from here.
Best Regards,
