    either a vac leak or shtuff in the idle circuit in carb would be the most likely culprits. try dosing it with some sea foam. if your carefull, take a bernzomatic torch UNLIT on a low setting, (just enough to smell, not blow dry your hair) lol and check for a vac leak. if you size down to a small vac hose and a 12 in piece of brake line a vac leak can be pinpointed easily

    If it didn't have a leak two months ago I'd doubt that's the issue

    Drain the carb, blow some air through the jets, clean them out,
    might even just have a bug or something blocking the slow jet.

    Drain the gas and put in fresh, with ethanol today it hurts
    stuff sitting.

    Cheap free stuff to do well except for the cost of gas..
