David,

My throttle springs on the carb are concentric (one inside the other). I found that the springs would occasionally get tangled with one another causing the throttle to stick like you described. So, I inserted a copper pipe (5/8 in dia, about 3-inches long, I think) outside the inner spring and inside the outer spring. Noe more problemo!
