Default stalls when braking

something ive noticed recently, when im driving along and have to stop quickly, the engine has a tendency(20% of the time) to just die out on me. the times it does not die, the rpms still drop below idle. ive checked the float settings, they are fine...anybody have any info on how to stop it from doing this¿

I had the same problem on my truck. It turned out to be a broken spring inside of the automatic choke. Not sure if you have a manual choke or not. It would run fine but everytime I would slow down to fast it would start to choke out on me. put new spring in and works like a charm now.

have you checked to make sure the wire hasn't loosened up enough to let the butterfly close partially?
