Made some adjustment to my carb because I was not getting full travel. Now when I throttle up, it will not go all the way back down to idle. it stays around 2000-2500 rpms. It's not the throttle cable as it releases all the way. Its the Accelerator pump not going all the way back down. I can push down on the pump with my thumb and it will release, but thats the only way. The 2 Adjustment screws will not fix the problem either.

Any suggestions?

Check your choke make sure its off and you hace a little slack in the line.
Make sure the pump rod is not jamming in the guide thats part of the carb body. Mine froze solid.

I have a little slack in the cable. I can take the accelerator pump and push it up by hand and it will drop all the way back down. When I twist the throttle it goes all the way up, but only drops about half way down.

I ordered the drag specialties throttle and custom cable from motion pro, so i might just wait to install it to see if that is the problem.

Tightend up the cable some and straightened up the white guide wheel that the cable rides on.

It looks like I may have overtightened the bolt that hold the cable and it is kinked...... The black vinyl is all chewed up right there.

a kink in da cable will do it. disconnect it from da carb and see if everything works right manually without da cable.

Dude- you sure are changing lots of stuff at the same time. My advice is to get it right and then introduce new variables.

I will be back in a couple of weeks and we can go run.
