Sounds like a ground wire problem, that said are you sure its not a fuel problem? when it stalls, is there still fuel in the carb? is it a mechanical pump or electric? the best way to tell if it is fuel is to turn off the ignition immediately after the problem occurs and check the carb for fuel, if you open the throttle with the air cleaner off it should squirt fuel into the manifold and you can then eliminate fuel as a suspect. If there is no fuel then you need to back track the fuel delivery system. Finding an electrical gremlin is a little more difficult, the best way is if the problem was not intermittent, as you described it, I would look for loose wires in the ignition system, its usually a ground problem.
