[Tigers] Tiger won't idle after a bout of hard acceleration

[Gary]

Rick,
You undoubtedly have a carb problem.
Carbs are full of tiny little passages just
waiting for a piece of dirt , a bug, gunk from
our "new" gas or something.  What carb are
you running?  You have an idle circuit
problem, clean it.  Maybe you can un-screw
the adjusters?  If its a Holley, you can take
it apart, blow out the passages, put it back
on in a longish pit stop😀
