First off, I would like to say hi and this is my first post here. I have found some very useful information on this site that has helped me with my altinator problem. ok, now to my problem.
I bought an 88 accord for $400. I knew there where going to be some issues to deal with down the line but not ten minutes after i got it on the road. The car would drive fine but stall whenever i push in the clutch. I said the hell with it, i'll drive it as long as it runs fine. one night while driving it, i was down shifting into fourth, it stalled, so i pop started it like usual, it bucked real hard and the battery light came on but it ran perfect frome then. The car didn't stall, idled fine, perfect. a day or two later, battery went dead. I found out it wasn't taking a charge, i figured it was the altinator. What a bitch of a job. i didn't have an axle nut so i had to drop the frame to barely get the altinator out. alt job was done but the light was still on, the next day i climbed under and noticed that the pivot bolt wasn't tightened all the way. I tightened the bolt up, started the car up and the light was gone, bad ground i assume. Here is the kicker, as soon as i fixed the altinator, the stalling came right back. I changed the fuel filters, adjusted the idle and it still stalls. I think it might be the carb but, thats a job i know very little about. sorry for the novel but if you guys have any advice on other little things i could be missing,help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much.

Strange problem, I'm not sure what is going on in your case because i dont have any experience with a carb'd accord, but im sure others will be able to lend you a hand. Be sure to post some pics
