How fresh is the engine? If it's still in the running-in stage it might just need to wear in a bit, especially if you have new seals on old rotor housings.

Mine was like that at the start as well so I had to keep the idle speed bumped up for a while to keep it from stalling.

The only other thing the comes to mind is the carb. What are you running BTW?
