Engine missing at idle. 200

Hi All

I have an Australian Volvo 240DL Sedan 1984 Model with B21A engine and Solex CD175 carb. I'm hoping I can get some help with a small problem. When the engine is idling, say at the traffic lights,is misses every 10 seconds or so and as this happens the idle speed is slowly dropping too. It gets to a point where I have to put the car in park and give it a rev to keep it going and then the missing starts all over again. I had the car tuned and changed the spark plugs and leads but still no change. When the car is crusing there is no engine miss. I'm hoping it's a common problem that somebody has an answer for.

Regards.
Phillip.
