I just cleaned carbs , replaced needle and seat and gaskets now it idles quite a bit higher than before. so what did I do wrong?
Seems pretty straight forward but must a screwed something up.Also I think the fuel pump is on its way out wont keep a prime and when it goes it will be fine for a little then act like it runs out of gas (did this before my carb cleaning)
Pump primer and I can see lots of air bubble go through the lines also
any ideas?

You need to find the air leak causing the bubbles, fix that and then we'll go from there if it still idles high. Sucking air will cause you all kinds of fits.
