Default engine woes

hi all i am in need of somw serious help

i recently bought a jeep cherokee for next to nothing as it needed a no6 piston
now it has been replaced all put back together but its difficult to start and when it does start there is a loud squeeling noice from the carb area

when i apply throttle it goes away its very loud at idle
also it is on lpg

it idles erratic and high
manifolds are on correctly no leaks either exhaust or inlet
i am now at the end of my teather it looks like the scrappy for it unless someone can help

thanks for your reply
its sorted now
the inlet manifold was not sitting on the dowels at the back hence a big rush of air being sucked in
all well that ends well
