Carburetted or fuel injected?
Are you able to keep engine running with throttle pressure?

The idling speed is too low and it could be due to improper adjustment. Vacuum leaks can cause that as well and replacing the carburettor do not necessarily mean the problem would be resolved.

You should start with the basics, try adjustments and check the fuel cut solenoid operations.
