Default 98 CBR 600 too lean, idle tooo high. Not the idle control.

I don't know what happened...... I let my dad ride my bike and he left the choke on for 20 miles..... he turned off the gas, but left on the choke. I started it up and its fine, until I put it on run. It idles ok, until I give it a little gas, then the rpm starts reving (on its own). it stops at 3000. I can use the idle control to make it rev higher, but not lower.

It runs ok (about 1200 rpm), if I give it more gas with the choke (about a 1/4 of the way back to choke). I just need to know if I can fix this or if I'll have to take it to the shop. I turned the idle up slightly about 4 weeks ago, but its been fine until my dad rode it. I thought maybe bad gas, but its still pretty new, or maybe a stuck float....

Thanks......
