You have a vacuum leak.
You can do one of the follow. I personally recommend the latter more than the former.
1. Take a can of carburetor cleaner and spray on the vacuum lines, around the manifolds, etc. and listen for hissing air. You will know when you find the leak.
2. Tear down the motor to near-short block, and replace all vacuum lines with silicone, and all gaskets. This is the only definite way to make sure all leaks are completely gone, and will be gone for a long time to come.
