Hunting for idle

My 79 has suddenly developed a slight hunting to return to a 1050 rpm idle after blipping
the throttle. Haven't been riding as much as I should on her but have been running it every
coupla weeks until warm. Plunked a bit of seafoam in so will see what happens.

Sounds like a partially blocked idle jet from researching here. Guess I need a little trip somewhere.

I keep forgetting what a great old bike this is.
Before you know it you're hitting 90 on the hiway.
Got 2 compliments at the gas pump (actually the Wing did)
Really fun ride. I need people to help me ride my bikes.
