it sounds like the carb needs adjusting as it may be running a bit of a rich mixture,take out a spark plug and if it is black and oily the mix is too rich but if the plug has a whiteish colur its too weak.also if you have over 50thou miles up it could be time to put in a carb repair set,it costs about ten quid and only takes an hour to change the gaskets,float etc. and its easy to follow the diag included.i assume the points are ingood nick and the plugs etc..its not a serious problem i think,carb screw are fussy enough and the cold weather makes em act up a bit too. If checking the carb does ot work, might pay to check the coil.
