Your description sounds like the engine may be running slightly rich at idle. I would first rule out timing changes using a timing light (a broken advance weight spring can cause erratic timing at idle) and then I would suspect a slightly leaking float valve (common) or sinking float. Renew the float valves and adjust them very carefully. This can be done externally with the carbs in place.
