you have to lean it out a bit is what it sounds like, but you have to give more detail to how it sounds when it dies out.

If the car is stalling at low speeds try this:-

First rev the car high and then stop it. Listen to the sound that the engine makes. If it revs very low and stalls or almost does the low speed needle needs leaning (1/8 - 1/4 turns at a time and then try it again)

However if the engine revs low and then after a few seconds revs higher again the engine needs to be richer (turn the low speed opposite to above)


If the engine is stalling after the break is applied:-

You need to lean the idle screw (1/4 turns at a time, max)

If the engine stalls at high speeds:-

This could be a number of things fuel line, gear change etc.

Let me know if this has helped.
