when idling for so long a motor can fuel up. when you hit the gas it dies, due to excess fuel. if you can idle for a minuet or so, and hit the gas and it revvs fairly quickly before it dies, then try to richen the bottom end. what can be happening is the temps are too hot, and with a lean needle setting the fuel may not flow properly from the tank and seem to have air in the line.
i run a nova 12, and if the temps get up there, it can be a pain to restart, and have these symptoms as well. mainly caused by heat, and the fuel evaporates inthe carb and line before it enters the engine. a few things to take in i know, but more info would be great.
