Welcome to the site, Ohio Sucks!

Have you replaced your 2 fuel and 1 air filters recently? Make sure you are using decent gas, mine runs great on 91 Octane. Check your timing as well. You should check out the howto section on retuning the carb, that might be it.

My car does the exact same thing. You have 3 options (assuming your problem is caused by the same thing my problem is; which it probably is)
1. Rebuild your carb
2. Replace your carb (with a weber, or another applicable brand)
3. Learn to drive by taking your car out of gear everytime you stop; using your left foot on the brake, and your right foot on the gas, to keep it from stalling.

The 3rd one, though it may seem awkward and impossible, is actually much easier than the other two. Plus, it makes you a better dancer.

Heres where to go if you are interested in a weber carburator. If you have more weber questions, I or someone else on the board can help you (most likely someone else :D )
