i just cleaned out my carbs, and removed the airbox, but my idle is way to high, about 5500 rpm. the idle screw is backed all the way out, and i cant find any loose hoses, anyone have any ideas?

With engine running, could spray propane gas, WD40, or starting fluid, around the intake manifolds. A leak will usually suck in enough spray to cause a noticable difference in rpm. This should help diagnose whether there's a leaking intake manifold (torn or cracked) or maybe just a loose or ill-fitting clamp.:)

Were any sync adjustments done, either on the bench or on engine while running? :unsure:

i would say that the clamp from cylinder rubber number 3 is stopping your butterfly s on the carb from shutting
its happened to me before.
