    my new clean carbs idle a 5000 rpm

    I bought carbs from ebay, cleaned/rebuilt them and put them on my bike. The bike did not start up right away so I sprayed some starting fluid in the air intake and it started with a vengeance! It was running at 5000 rpms and I unscrewed the idle adjustment knob all the way out. what do I need to adjust?

    Throttle cables?
    Maybe the throttle adjustment screws on top?
    Wait, which carbs are we talking about?

        Badly unbalanced carbs, or an intake leak.

        More than likely unbalanced carb butterflies. Look for 'bench sync' using the search function and you'll find plenty of info.
        and God said, "Let there be air compressors!"

            As mentioned by others...

            - make sure throttle cable not binding. The carbs should snap back to idle position with a thunk when opening and releasing the throttle cable

            - make sure the bench sync is close

            - Replace the intake pipe boot O-rings if you haven't already done so. Also, replace all O-rings inside the carbs if you haven't already done so and make sure the airbox is proper sealed and the filter is clean.
