Yamaha Ovation idles high on start up

[AKluke850]

I have a Yamaha ovation 340 I recently purchased that will rev up to 6000rpms upon start-up and immediately want to take off. Carb boots are in good condition and the carb is clean.

What could be causing this??

crank seal?
throttle cable stuck?

The throttle cable seems to be good. Ill check out the crank seal next!

Tried the starter fluid trick on the crank seal as it was running and nothing changed so don't believe it is a seal leak... stumped right now

Choke circuit clean and not allowing excess fuel to be pulled through?
