Just a thought, loosen the throttle cable where it attaches to the carb linkage and see if the linkage returns to idle stops. If it does, then re-tighten the throttle cable in that position.

Good point. When I had to put a new throttle cable on after I installed the thicker Thing shroud last year, it took a couple of tries to get it right. I tried hard to get zero play in the pedal/cable, but I found if there was any tension at all on the cable, the carbs wouldn’t return to idle.

Also check the tube that the cable runs in through the shroud. A couple of times that thing pulled out of its spot and kept the cable tight/idle high.
