Did you try messing with the idle cable already?

Well, what filter did you have in there, and what did you go to? Also, did you hook all the hoses back up to the airbox properly?

Sounds like an air leak, check to see that the carbs are still clamped onto the head.

nope i didnt drop anything down in there. as far as i can tell its hooked up to the block and no air leak there. are there any breather tubes or hoses that could be making it rev up so much?
