Sounds like the idle speed and idle mixture needs to be adjusted.

Adjust idle speed to 780 RPM, then adjust mixture to best lean. Then readjust to 750 rpm.

The charge light will come on whenever the engine dies.

So it was running fine a week ago, and now it is dying. What has changed in the last week?

First, fix the alternator -- and your engine problem may be gone.

You may have removed the fuse for the alternator.

If the alternator does not charge, then late-model 1200 ute choke doesn't work.

You may have knocked a vacuum hose loose when changing air filter.

Dash pot on late-1200 carburetor may be loose.

There can be many, many causes for a the engine stalling. Start with checking the items above.

Take it one step at a time -- that's what a mechanic does. Because there are many many causes to the symptom of "engine stalling".
