Chip ;
First thing , look at the intake screen , is it full of crud ? .
Then , look closely for fuel leaks from the flexible lines , both the return hoses and the cigar hose as any leak allows air into the system and causes stalling .
Hopefully this will be a simple fix , once you've found a leak and fixed it , remember to keep the RPM's up over 2,500 for at least three minutes to fully bleed the system of air ~ remember when I stalled my Diesel Coupe out in the street after changing the secondary filter & only idling it for 20 minutes...
