77 244 dl idling problems/start up issues

i have a '77 244 dl. the problem i'm having is that it idles very roughly (sometimes i feel as if it's going to shake apart) and it tends to die when i initially put it in gear. after a few start ups it runs like a gem. i let it warm up for an extensive amount of time before driving but this doesn't seem to make a difference. i was hoping someone could give me a little advice on what the cause of this could be before i take it in to be looked at.

thanks,

trav
