[Tigers] Anyone Recognition These Symptoms?

Due to travel, weather, and life in general, I haven't touched the Tiger
for several weeks.  Until today.

At first it would barely run, like it was running on two or three.  I had
to keep my foot on the throttle or it would instantly die.

So I left it for 20 minutes, and tried again.  It started ok, and if I kept
it at 2 - 3000 rpm all seemed fine.  But when I took my foot off the pedal,
it dropped to idle, then started pulsating, like I was turning it off for
an instant, once a second or so.  Finally it died.

Its a stock 260, stock 2 barrel, original points type ignition with most
everything in the ignition replaced in the last couple years.  The
automatic choke appears free and functioning.  Its a hot and humid day.

Anybody recognize this behavior?

It's days like this that make me start to think about Hemmings...
