I've noticed the little random stall as well. Been wondering what it is that causes that. I've got a friend with a Chicken as well and his does it too. Guess it's just the nature of the beast...lol

With no vacuum leaks and the carbs correctly balanced 1K and no stalls.

Generally the stalling is caused by an incorrectly set TPS sensor. If it is still at the factory setting, you need to keep the idle RPMs up a little higher.
