Sounds like a vacuum leak. Check the hoses and carb gasket. Are you going to make it to Petit Jean this year? It's almost here. Duane.

Re: 144 problem
How long has it been like this? If there doesn't appear to be a vacuum leak(s) you likely need to rebuild the carb. Does it have an Autolite or a Holley carb? Mine was doing that and it turned out to be an improperly assembled carb and it was varnished up. It was missing a check ball and a weight on another check ball. The idle circuits are very tiny and can get gummed up if the carb has been sitting a long time.
