Advance only comes into play above idle, so that should not be your problem. I 
suppose it could be a mech advance that is sticking and giving too much advance 
at idle.

It's either you idle set too low, or you're just not getting enough power at 
idle. Either way, a tune up should point you in the right direction. You may 
also want to check the compression.
