Default loping engine?

A friend's Model A has a problem with a loping engine. The car hasn't been run for several months, but was running O.K. last time. Now the engine idles fine but on giving it a little gas it tends to run fast and slow on it's own. When we first started it the idle adjust screw was out about 8 turns. We turned it all the way in and then backed it out about 1 1/2 turns. The only things we did was a brake job, water pump replacement, and manifold replacement, none of which should affect how it runs. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
