Is it running on carbs? If so, have you topped up the oil in the dashpot lately?

Also check if the accelerator cable is snagging somewhere but I'd check the dashpot first.

Hope it helps,

Bit warm for carb icing....or is it ?

If it's an injection model it could be the vacuum pipes from the inlet manifold to the fuel trap / fuel trap to ECU: they have a habit of wearing out
