'74 Duster - stalls easily

Is the idle RPM correct? You said you're new to cars, so I'm just trying to help with the basics. I'm not insulting you. Paul.

No insult taken! I'm here to learn and get other people's thoughts, so it's all good.

I adjusted the carb idle (my ignorance is showing here - I turned the little flathead screw on the carb) until the idle was slightly higher than normal. I know by the sound about what the idle should be. This was before I tried driving it, so the issue was still there.
