Another thing I do is if I am running my Zenith carb is leave the idle notched up a bit-sounds like you do this already. If not, it will tend to die in hard fast stops as the fuel sloshes away from the jets.

*correction* I leave the idle at the lowest notch and open the GAV a solid 1/4 turn to compensate for this in city driving.
