2500 rpm idle question

I just finished rebuilding the Strombergs on my '73 TR6 and when I 
started it up, it idled at about 2,500 rpm.  The idle speed screws are 
all the way out and the chokes are off.  It was a basket case when I 
brought it home last year, so I don't know if they were working before.
I did follow the manual and I have a book on Carb Repair...but I have been 
known to put things back together upside down anyway :-0        

Any ideas of what I might be overlooking?  I did notice that the jets are 
a good 2.5mm below the level of the bridge.  This doesn't look normal, 
but I have nothing to compare it with.  The butterflies seem to close all 
the way, but I didn't check them too closely, since I didn't replace 
them.  

Any help would be greatly appreciated, because with a rusty Monza 
exhaust, my neighbors are not appreciating me blasting through the 
neighborhood, rattling windows!
