The stalling always seemed to happen as I rolled off the throttle to come to a stop. The first time it stalled, I was headed for a stopplight. I hadn't noticed any problems with the power or running until I rolled off the throttle and the rpm went to idle and kept going right down to zero.
Does that sound like a coil problem? It didn't to me. Maybe fuel. I can't really tell. How can I check short of taking the carbs off? As far as getting it to run with choke...it idled at 1000 RPM with the choke out...like it was having no effect. It also ran like it was hitting rich on one cylinder and not firing on the other few about 20 seconds.
