check the easy things first, the choke cable pinched, binding or somehow pulling the choke 'on'

also check for a vacuum leak in any of the emissions plumbing. I dunno if VC has draconian emissions laws like CA, but if you have all that jibber-jabber stuck on your bike, best check it out.

my bike had a persistent wandering/high idle when i first got it running after cleaning the carbs. A couple good rips on the highway at 75 mph blew all the junk out and got things running smooth... the old 'italian tune up'
