It does that because of a lack of enough initial timing to idle at 750 in park and 600 in gear.
To compensate at present you likely have the curb idle screwed in enough to let it idle like it does.
Two problems arise from that. Retarded timing makes it run hot. Increased primary throttle opening has it idling on the power circuit.
A test to check for too much throttle opening is to screw in either mixture screw and see if it quits.
What's your timing curve like?
How much initial?
How much mechanical?
