Oh man, I am up a creek. I am installing the Tangerine cable system and one carb is fine, but after I installed the pulley, one carb is binding and will ALMOST return to idle, but it is binding on something. The carbs are rebuilt but I did not replace throttle shaft bearings. The carb works fine throughout it's range of motion except for the last 10 degrees where it should return to idle. If you let it snap shut, it shuts, but if you ease off, it sticks.

I have had this freaking carb and cable system apart and back together 5 times and don't know where to look. Carbs are Made in Spain 40 IDF

I had to shim or remove shims my cam wheels to get things just right. Try to loosen the one on the carb that is sticking slightly to see if it helps, if it does you found your problem...
