A few off the top of my head:
1) Choke not coming off completely
2) Float level too high
3) Partially sunk float
4) Throttle stop screw loose or incorrectly set
5) Throttle binding
6) Throttle cable too tight
7) Idle speed screw loose or incorrectly set
8) Idle mixture incorrectly set
You made certain you had no air leaks when you installed it?

What happens when you turn the idle adjustment screw?
