(Home) Spacecruiser cuts out when stopping/idling

I recently bought a Toyota Model F (space cruiser)
its perfect for a 21 year old y reg apart from one small problem
on a few occasions when stoping at traffic lights the engine has cut out with a battery warning light up just before, started as soon as i turned the key ideas please

What is your idle speed? It could be low causing the engine to cut out. When I had my Space Cruiser I had exactly the same problem but after increasing the idle speed to 1000revs the problem was solved, no more cutting out.

Is this while slowing down or after stopping?

Agree with the get it tuned advice.

hi sorry for the delay
idle speed is 1000 RPM
it cuts out when about to stop but for some reason hasnt done it since this first post but on occasions idle speed has dropped to about 800-750 RPM
as an after thought i think im probably just touching the pedal a bit as it happens to lift the RPM so it doesnt drop below 1000RPM just a tune up how much can i expect to pay for that??????

My son had his car tuned by Home-tune for £38 earlier in the year.
The extra mpg has covered the cost already, plus the emissions will be set to MoT standard.
