87 240 shakes when idling, stalls alot

I've got an 87 240

i bought it recently used from a private seller. he didn't have much information about it when he sold it to me but it seemed to drive smoothly, a little problem with acceleration but nothing serious. it drove fine for a few weeks but then it started shaking alot when idling, like it was running out of gas, even when the tank was full. then recently it's started stalling out on me all the time when i'm idling, like at a stop light for instance.

i'm assuming it's a fuel system issue, a dirt filter perhaps?


any ideas?
