95 xp revs high when started.

Carbs were cleaned and throttle checked. Exhaust leaking at band clamp. Will this cause to idle real high?

No...either your idle screw was turned while cleaning the carbs, or throttle linkage is hung up creating the butterfly to be open, or.. You missed the bolt hole securing the carb to intake. Doing so, vaddress the intake leak. I've done this before..smh

My idle high is lack of fuel. Is there way to check fuel getting to carbs?

When you cleaned the carbs did you replace the base gaskets? What does it idle at?

 

[dieselstroke]

If i choke it out for a minute then let go it will idle 3000 for like 30 sec to minute then start reving higher like running out of fuel

It is a lean runaway. Did it do it before you serviced the carbs?
1. Make sure you have slack in the throttle cable.
2. Make sure a hose clamp isn't holding the throttle open.
3. Make sure your idle screw is backed out.
4. Make sure your oil pump cable isn't holding the throttle open.
5. Make sure your carb base gaskets are in place and seated correctly.

I bought carbs off ebay already cleaned ( so it said) getting ready to pull them off and go through them. All linkage good and base gaskets too
