Question stump and won't stop

1- I have a 2,3L Ranger 4x4 1983 with only 26000 miles( and has no more catalytic converter) and when start the engine the idle is very high like 1900rpm and stay there for a long time.. If I take the street right after my engine is started.. And I have to stop on a light on the first few minutes the engine wanna stall, the rpm drops to 500 rpm and goes up about 2 sec later to 1500 rpm... Also when I'm driving it always seem to stump a little bit and having a lack of power, but it doesn't make black fumes neither blue...
What can I do...

2- Other thing after driving my truck for a while or only a short time, When I want to stop the engine I seem to more stall then stop..It stump and sometime when could think that it will start again.. I think that it could be too much advance in timing !!!

And it doesn"t makes it only when it's cold it makes it constantly...

I would look into rebuilding the carb. Sounds like sediment may be present due to the low mileage.
