Be patient bandy. Sounds like it just needs a little fine tuning. You will get it right.

What is the full story? When/how did it stop working? What modifications did you do to it (i.e. cam installation?) or did it just start doing this?

I agree with Ron. If you have it running at idle you can't be too far of. Been there and it can be fustrating! Just methodically go through the setup again. Is it the stock cam? If not the timing could be different than stock. How about the vacuum advance? Is that working correctly? Dwell and point setting correct? Any vacuum leaks? Is the carb setup correctly? Is the fuel filter good?
Take a break first!!
