Reed valve idles really high?

[ElvisPresley]

I installed a reed valve and it gave me a lot of performance but it idles really high with an unsteady idle, can anyone tell me what is wrong with it?

Spray carb cleaner or wd40 or ether around reed housing & carburetor to check for air leaks, you should hear a rpm change if air leak is present. Sounds like air leak problem to me, causing it to run lean. Also you might have to up-jet with the reed setup, but I'm unsure on the up-jet as I'm in working progress of a reed setup.
