carb problem when cold

i recently had my 4 barrel holley carb rebuilt on my 351w and since then the truck has been horrible on gas and stumbles on acceleration when cold. after it gets up to temperature the throttle response is good. i is just when it starts that you need to feather the gas to keep it from bogging out. you can also smell the gas at the end of the tailpipes when the truck is running so can anyone tell me what needs to be adjusted

The choke is probably set too far closed. The choke blades should just barely touch the walls when cold.
