Re: high idle

If the idle was okay previously, you've improperly set the carburetor synchronization (cam scribe mark to throttle roller center) OR have simply adjusted the trunion on the throttle cable (in clamp at engine) so that too much throttle is being applied.

Re: high idle

Converting to regular dual fuel pumps wouldn't have any effect on the idle UNLESS a air leak exists within one of the pumps OR one of the hoses leading to the crankcase has a air leak.
