As xsjohn mentioned, its normal for the idle speed to increase as the engine warms up.
I start on choke, within about 15 seconds I take the choke off and turn the throttle stop screw up enough to keep the rpm at 1200 to 1400 rpm. As the engine warms up over the next 10 minutes or 15 minutes, I keep decreasing the stop screw to keep the idle at 1200 rpm. Thats just how they work.
You probably need to adjust the pilot screws (mixture screws) using the dead cylinder method. Warm engine fully. Use a fan to cool the engine. Connect one cylinder spark plug lead to a third spark plug that is grounded( to prevent ignition coil damage) , so that the engine only runs on one cylinder. Adjust the rpm down to only 300 or 400 rpm with the stop screw. Adjust the mixture screw for the fastest, smoothest idle. Repeat for other cylinder.
Also good idea to sync the carbs.....................make your own U tube manometer from plastic tubing, fill halfway with a coloured liquid.
