It would probably be worse when it was warmed up fully. Try some cleaning additive in the fuel like Smitty said, either sea foam or Marvel mystery oil will work.

I would also check for something grounding out, bare wire which only hits metal ever now and then. I had an 65 panhead which did that and after messing with the carb over and over a friend noiced a wire going to the starter which seem to hit metal only sometimes, like when i had a rider on board.
