    If it's not water,,,,,, if it wants to die at idle, but runs when you give it gas, i'd say check for vacuum leak. Maybe a vac hose cracked or got pulled off ?? It's the easiest thing to rule out first. Spray some ether around suspect areas while it's running. If there's a leak the rpm will change when you spray it.

    Might be dirt in the carb (Like the idle circut maybe) hard to tell with a keyboard.
