Carb question

Hey guys I am working on a 79 Yamaha XS750 3 cylinder. I have taken the carbs apart and cleaned them very well and have them reinstalled. Now when I start the bike it sounds and feels like the bike is at wide open throttle. I pulled the carbs atain and the throttle plates are closed any ideas on what could be causing this?

Double throttle cable or single? If it's push/pull or pull/pull or something that could be the issue.

Could the idle adjustment got set/messed?

Does it redline or just sound like it's running real fast?

Does it get better as bike warms up or did you shut it off immediately?

It is a single cable system and I checked the choke/ enricher and it seems to be operating correctly. It is pretty much a single rod that runs accross the three carbs.

I have checked the idle knob and have it backed all the way off.

I will check for air leaks but it would seem like it would take a heck of a lot of air to get it to do what it is.
