S-10 Pickup 2.8L V6

I am in need of assistance with this constant problem. When I start the truck, the idle is low and rough and the automatic choke light is on. it will idle that way until you rev the engine about 3 times, up to 3-4 thousand rpm's. Then the light will go out, and if your lucky it will drive like normal, if not then it will stall out or try to stall. What, if anything short of replacing the carb, can i do to fix this. I know carb cleaner is one option but what are other possible options?
