hi,try cleaning the idle air control valve,these usually clog up with carbon block the air flow and stall the engine.[valve may be faulty if cleaned and still stalls] check to see if the engine breather mod has been carried out. this is a gauze filter fitted between the cam cover and the breather tube, if fitted this may be blocked after all the years of running
