1985 XT600 Idling Issues, Please Help?

Hello;
I have a 1985 XT600N (North American Version) with Idling Issues.
Things I have done so far...
Pulled the carbs, cleaned out Most of the Carb But not all of it. I removed and cleaned all the Jets, Replaced the Rubber Coasting Enricher Diaphragm
(I originally thought this was a accelerator pump), removed the float cover and cleaned all that area - the float seemed to be moving up and down normally so just replaced the float back in its place after cleaning all that area out.
(At the time I had the Carbs Apart I was not able to figure out where the: Needle Valve & Valve Seat were located, was planning to replace them with New ones I received in a Rebuild Kit)
Did NOT replace the Needle Valve
Did NOT replace the Valve Seat
Did NOT remove & inspect the Jet NEEDLE - was sliding up and down smoothly though
Replaced ALL the Fuel Lines.
Reinstalled the Carburetors Properly.

ISSUE:
Kick Starts with the choke ON, let engine Idle at 2000rpm for about 30 seconds then slowly put the choke back to OFF position - Idle did not really change at all after turning choke OFF... blipped the throttle a couple times and the rpm's went to 5000rpm's and stayed there, after about 20 seconds I blipped the throttle twice, rpms's stayed at 5000rpm, blipped the throttle two more times and the Idle Stayed at 5000rpms, then shortly thereafter I shut the engine Off.
When throttle is Blipped the Carburetor Throttle returning back to Idle Position as it is Supposed to, Throttle Cables are NOT Sticking.
Air/Fuel Mixture Screw is set @ 21/2 turns OUT from Bottomed Out (turned all the way In)

I could not find any Past Troubleshooting info on this site regarding my particular Idling Issue.

"I would really Appreciate any ideas of what my Idling Issue could be".
Thank You

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
