idling too high and dies

The last couple of week I started to get my 74 thing ready for this spring. The problem I am having is it is idling high, so I adjusted it down. Now when I am driving and come to a light it dies unless I keep the rpm up. I thought I have a vac leak, try to find one with carb cleaner, but none was found. Any help would be grateful

Thanks in advance

Maybe your choke is sticking? While stuck, you lowered the idle. Then when it opens, the idle is too low and the engine dies...
