Perhaps just a bit of dirt or gummed up. Give it a good cleaning and blow out all the passages with compressed air.
Be sure to update this thread so that everyone will know what you did to fix the problem.

it looks very clean but i still have a high idle high enough to move the car without using the accelerator.

I know this is pretty obvious but have you checked your cable.  If it is too tight it could cause it too idle high and make sure you have enough spring tension to return the throttle closed.

Have you checked for a vacuum leak?  If this is this carb or engine is new to you, check to see if the carb butterfiles seat in the bores.  When the cheezy plastic throttle cable retainer breaks the only way to replace it is to replace the entire throttle shaft.
