Default 1983 ford ranger 2.3l problem....

Hi, names Richard. So i bought my step dads 1983 ford ranger 2.3l 4x4 short box regular cab with a rebuilt motor. k so me and this mechanice, good buddy of mine. put the engine and hooked everything up. man was it hard to find a timing guide. so got the timing guide, everything is hooked up good, its got 4 quarts of oil in it, 1/4 of a tank and a new fuel pump and the carb seems fine. im telling u this because im beat red from trying to figure out why when i start the truck up i have to keep feathering the gas to keep it from dieing? its gettin gas obviously, the vaccum hose is hooked up correct. i just dont know. so if anyone can be helpful thatd be great. thank you for taking ur time to read this. goodbye for now
