i had the same problem years ago, i turned the jet nut just one flat and it ran a lot better. but you may have just a little bit of crud stuck in the carb it just shifts when you press the gas so it clears then it comes back.

You could make sure the vacuum pipe from carb to dizzy is on. The black right angled connector at either end of the pipe can split and the pipe comes out ,its quite common.
If the pipe is off the revs will drop.
Although it sounds as though it may just be that its gone out of tune . Turn the idle screw a touch to lift the revs to get around until you can get the idle and mixture adjusted properly.
