truck runs fine then stalls

Ok my 82 22r has had a lot of work done since I've got it, I have done a complete tune up and even bought a new weber 32/36. All lines have been changed even have the lc pro spiral adapter plate to stop the vacuum leak. Well after all that was done it has been running like a dream no missing no stalling just purring like she should. Well got up thus morning for work went and started it to warm up while I get dressed like I do every morning got in it and headed down the road and was fine and come to the stop sign and it bla bla bla stalls. So I start it back up and it has no problem starting right back up and runs fine until I come to a stop. So basically it starts great and drives great but when I let out the gas it dies. Mayb I can get some help from some of Yall as to what is the deal here

Well I'm thinking its not a vacuum leak because when I adjust the mixture screw it responds well and it runs perfectly fine until the gas is let out, Idk man I'm gonna plug at it and try to figure this out. I was doing some searching and read were people were saying it could be a fuel cut off solenoid but I don't know if my.weber has that or not the only wire going to it is the choke

Ohh and I did just spray carb cleaner when I got home and I get very small hesitations when I spay near the base but nothing major but when I spray on the plugs installed on the intake it doesn't do anything right away but I guess when it settles in it almost dies. The PO had installed the plugs and I'm not sure if they are the right metal or what but I would think them plugs should be completely sealed.

Did you check for a vacuum leak in the brake booster?

The hoses going to it are probably fine, but there's a diaphragm inside the booster that can go bad and cause a vacuum leak too. Let the truck idle and get to normal running temperature and them press down on the brake pedal. If the idle changes you probably have a bad diaphragm. That's my guess since you said it only happens when you're coming to a stop.

Yeah I read some threads yesterday about it and I did some things to test I undid the booster hose and plugged it and it was fine I tried what you suggested while it was idling and it was fine. When I put it out of gear coasting to a stop it dies so it's nothing with the brakes. I need to figure this crap out cause it was running so good and it still does run good but the damn thing dies

You may have already seen this, but it sounds like people have had this problem in the past and it was the fuel cutoff solenoid.

Ok a ran some seafoam and cleaned all the jets and the carb up good and went to work this morning and it ran perfect, well comin home the first red light I come to the it's acting up again. This is so confusing so now it's only doing it when it wants, I don't see how it could be a.vacuum leak if it's fine at one point and not the other. If anyone has had a similar problem give some info I'm getting aggravated about this

My truck does that, but only until it's fully warm. Once fully warmed up mine will idle fine. I haven't solved it, so I can't help, but I'll sure keep reading this thread.

Does it sound like it could be a.coil or igniter doing that I mean it's like nothing wrong until you stop or let the clutch out its not the brake booster

I've made my truck run better by fixing vacuum leaks; my worst was the brake booster hose, where it attaches to the intake manifold. I assume there are still some (or one?) leak that gets better when things warm up. Or something.

I mean could my problem be vacuum leaks, the reason I don't think it is is because of how good it idles and runs its just when I take it out of gear. This blows my mind I really need some help
