I am sure closing the hood is a clue.

If the engine is losing this amount of rpm at idle when the hood is shut, then the engine would be starving for air at anytime above idle speed.

I would remove the aircleaner, and see what it does then.

You could also have a hot air issue that makes the carb mixture different at hot idle.
