Idle problems



Ok, I have an 87 F250 w/ a carbed 460, 4x4, lariat, dual tanks. I don't know what is wrong with it. When I start it doesn't catch until like the third or fourth time. I have to sit in the truck for about 2 minutes giving it gas or it will sputter and die. When it is about to die the rpms shake from about 400 to like 600 and it shakes the whole truck pretty badly. My gas gauge also fluctautes with this, when the rpms jump up so does the gas gauge, when they drop so does the gg. I don't know what it is?!? Please help guys, it is really appreciated! Thanx!
