Question Engines in and working. One small problem

Engines in and working, the nasty clatter was the hydraulic lifters (we didnt prime them before fitting... Have now and its sooo much better).

Goes well, sounds lovely... But one problem, if I lift off when pulling up to a junction I have to catch the throttle, she keeps trying to die on me.
If I sit at the junction and gently hold her at idle speeds she idles fine afterwards.
Looks like i have a problem coming onto the idle circuit.

Engine spec: --------------------------------------------------------------------

Stock 2-litre crank and rods. Crank balanced with 914 flywheel and clutch. Flywheel lightened.
Rods balanced end to end and with each other.

Any ideas?
Does the jetting look about right?

Cheers,
