Fuel Injected or Carb?

Check your return spring.

could need some lube on your linkage, maybe the throttle cable, too... definitely check the return spring, though.. sounds like it might not be taking it all the way back down.

is it really easy to push down your gas pedal? if so, you may need to completely replace the spring.
