Welcome to nopistons! I'm moving this to the 1st generation section, you should get more answers there.

is it high idling or just dying? 4 psi seems a little low to me.... if you hold down on the gas after it fires will it stay running? just need a few more details

You may need to go up one or 2 sizes on your idle jets. If you have to open the butterflies too much then it is falling out of the idle circuit.
