Drops to idle fast and then chokes

When the engine is all warmed up, and i come to a stop and the engine drops to idle, it sputters and chokes. Then if it continues to run it will slowly ramp back up to proper idle. Sounds like it just drops down to idle too fast for the old DJet. The engine runs like a top except for when it is warmed up and that little idle problem kicks in. Is there anything that can slow down the revs so it doesn;t just drop down to idle other than using the gas pedal? I took off all the air pump stuf years ago, so that system is not there anymore.
