When I used to do a lot of mechanical work in the carburetor days, when one behaved like yours, it was usually because the idle circuit was plugged or had an air leak causing a no idle condition. This would make you open the throttle plates until it was idling on the primaries. Follow your idle passages and make sure all of the new gaskets you used have the right holes in them. I always save the old gaskets from a rebuild until assembly and use them to identify which ones from the kit I should use.
