the reason it is idling high is that it is lean on the bottom usally caused by partial blockage of your pilot circuits you will have to take your carbs off and clean them properly if that doesn't cure the problem then when you get the carb's back on spray brakeclean around the intake manifolds when it is running to see if there are any air leaks but the way you have described it it sounds like pilot circuits to me.

check your float level, would make it lean all over.
