It's a fuel injected engine, so flooding shouldn't be an issue.

One possible cause of the stall could be wires/contacts that need to
be cleaned. i.e. removing and reinstalling the FP relay could reseat
it so the connectors contact/conduct better.

Make sure whatever Westy you are serious about buying is checked by an
experienced Vanagon/VW mechanic.

Cheers,

Neil.
