L-jet won't idle warm

My '75 1.8 starts easy when cold, needs no throttle to maintain idle. After car is thoroughly warm it will no longer idle. Only way to keep it running is to stay on the throttle. When engine is warm I can't keep it running long enough to get to the engine before it dies. Car is new to me. Just finished complete tune (plugs, points, cond., cap, new wires, dwell and timing are right). Messed with the air by-pass screw and makes no difference. Any ideas?
