I pulled my carb as well as several electrical connections to paint the engine and engine bay

I have put everything back together, the engine started right away but is idling really high, which it was not doing before

Any ideas what it could be?

Thanks

Check for a vacuum leak. Spray carburetor cleaner around the base of the carburetor and see if the idle goes even higher.

check the throttle plate. is it sitting on the curb idle screw like it should?
if not check linkage and fast idle
