Default 1983 Chevy S-10 P/U 4x4 with 2.8 V6

Hi Newbie here i just bought a 1983 Chevy S-10 P/U with a 2.8 V6. My problem the truck runs fine, but when you go to stop it dies. It starts up again but you really have to put your foot all the way on gas pedal before it will start. If any one has any ideas that would be great. Thanx Bob

Sounds maybe like the float sticking and flooding out.
