Remove the cable to see if the bike will idle down. Roy

...bike is a stock 1981 KZ1000LTD K model. The carburetors that i ordered were off of a stock 1981 KZ1000 police bike. When i rev the motor, it takes forever for the RPMs to come back down again. It also spits and coughs out of the intake side of the carburetors as you are revving it. I just want to know what the issue is. The carburetors have not been synced, but they were not pulled away from each other when they were cleaned. I ran the bike without an airbox just for testing which was not and issue with the carburetors that were off of my dad's stock 1981 KZ1000 LTD K model bike....
Perhaps pilot circuit is too lean.
Could try adjusting the pilot air screws.
Start by screwing them in clockwise until lightly seated, then back out 1.25 turns.
Screwing in enrichens pilot mixture.
Screwing out leans pilot mixture.
Good Fortune!

DONT ASSUME they are correct. If they are off by more than 4-5mm, the bike will simply not run properly.
EVERYTHING from the air filter/box to the exhaust tip must be installed and AIR TIGHT, or nothing will work correctly.
Air leaks and parts missing causes the fuel map/curve of the carbs to change dramatically, essentially making the bike un-usable.
Make sure that the ignition advance mechanism is properly lubricated and returning to idle position.
All these things must be done as part of regular maintenence after many years of service/sitting.

Would you care to elaborate?....They (the carburetors) were cleaned .....
Are the new carbs the same type of carburetors as the LTD?
Or is one set the VM-type & the other CVs?
No airbox? And you say the bike ran fine w the other carbs & no airbox? Really?
