Check the throttle cable. If it is pinched or there is tension on the cable it could be "idling high" because the slide is open a bit. If that's not it take off the carb and check it out completely. Once I found that an o-ring between the carb and intake was missing on a 200x. This was causing me some trouble with the idle. I'd check everything while I had it out. (needle position, main jet, pilot jet, pilot screw, float...)

dont know why the 185s is idling high, i adjusted the idle screw out and still is idling high, i dont think there are any vacume leaks between the carb and head? any suggestions?
