This is a symptom of a malfunctioning vacuum switch for the vacuum advance. Vacuum is supposed to be OFF at idle. Check for proper function and correct hose routing to/from thermo vacuum switch, warm- up regulator, and vacuum advance switch. There are several other possibilities too including the idle speed motor and associated electrics of the activating switch, proper throttle valve adjustment, linkage adjustments, and the main idle screw could be open (it should be closed).
