It sounds like you're doing a brake torque (holding down gas and brake at same time) and leaving off the gas and it stalls? Leaving off in a brake torque will cause stalling. What size primary jets do you have in the carburetor? If the engine is getting too much gas your exhaust will run black and you could solve it with smaller jets. If the engine runs a little hot it could be the jets are a little small - that you could solve with bigger jets.
