Poor throttle response

Hi my mk1 cab convertible starts fine but when I press the throttle engine bogs down instead of reviving up and if I put under load engine stalls 
I have serviced it changed plugs leads dizzy cap and rotor arm 
Revs not to bad when cold but gets worse as engine warms up 
Tick over can be a little up and down 
Car has been off the road for 5 years 
Any ideas would be gratefully received 
Many thanks

Carb or fuel injection?

Did it do the same before the service?

Any holes or rust in the fuel tank or filler neck?
