Just a thought, have you checked the Racors for that engine. If they are starting to clog, engine will run but die at idle.

are the racors the fuel filters

Racors are usually the primary fuel filter. Sometimes factory or delivering dealer installed, sometimes installed later in life.
Racor or not, there is usually always a primary AND secondary fuel filter.

Yes, old and clogged fuel filters can cause idle problems.
Replacing the fuel filters may also be the quickest and cheaper step in troubleshooting for the capable Do It Yourself owner.

These primary and secondary filters come in different sizes.
Try to find part numbers on what you have to help guide your replacement purchase. Send us pictures if in doubt of what your looking at.
