Does this sound like a bad carb?

*Yes was posted on another honda forum*

The car was working fine. I took the car to a friends house and parked for a few house while we went out. Came back and drove it home. It was about a 30 min trip. This problem started about 10mins from my house. The car started to stall between 2000-3000 RPMS. If I feather it and keep it at 2000 it will die. It also dies when idle at a stop. It also does this in neutral.

This is everything I have replaced.
Radiator & Thermo
VCG
Both fuel filters
New Disty, Cap, Rotor, Plugs, & Wires
New Coil
New Alternator
New Battery
New Grounds

I added a fuel gauge inline and the fuel pressure is solid, I thought maybe fuel pump. Now I’m thinking it might be a timing issue or the carb going out. I’m running out of money and I need to drive. So any dead on ideas would be great.

Adjusting the timing didnt solve the issue.

I found a rebuild kit and the two other gaskets online for about 80 bucks. Is that a good price?

VCG? Not familiar with that abbriviation

Sounds like a vacuum leak.
check the pcv valve and the hoses connected to it first... the pcv is like 3 bucks.

other then that, you said it happened 10mins so that could mean a thermovalve isn't getting coolant or the valve is busted. If it's a coolant problem the water pump isn't working or the coolant system needs bleeding.

I doubt 10mins would cause overheating but it depends on the conditions, overheating can cause stalling

Did you bleed the coolant?
Does the large fan turn on?
It could be a sensor or the water pump isn't working.
