Before you rebuild anything-

1) Check carefully for vacuum leaks; vacuum hoses can deteriorate and crack over time.

2) Check the brass jet that screws into the outside of the primary (outboard) barrel, I think it's call the idle air jet. It's easy to unscrew and clean; 99 times out of 100 when I've had problems like you've described, I've found this jet to be plugged at the tip. When a Solex sits for some time, crud forms in the fuel passages and tends to plug that jet. Be careful not to strip the threads in the carb body.
