Cb500T Back From The Dead

Hi I'm doing a Cafe 1975 Honda Cb500T. It's not run in years and today I finally got her running, well not very well tho. I have stripped and cleaned both carbs, and reset the points. I fired her up with choke ON. She idled really high say 2.5k and when I tried to turn off the choke she started to idle higher! 3-4k. I also noticed the right exhaust is red hot where the left I can put my hand on. Both exhaust pressure feel the same tho. After idling for say three mins it then begins to idle higher and higher still. I turned it off and when I kicked it over again it about broke my foot, the kicker was forced back up!?
Is this all timing. This is my first project like this and it's all a little new :eek:
Any advice very welcome. Cheers
