If it's revving up and down on tickover it is usually because it's too weak on the pilot Jet. Try a bigger pilot jet.

worn carb body and worn slides can cause this,

Could it be an air leak..have had similar problem and found a manifold nut had come lose.

Pressure test the engine first to eliminate any possible air leaks.
