Check your secondary spring on the carb. Search for "teeter totter" and you will probalbly find pictures of it...

Hmm, not really sure why the throttle would be sticking. Make sure the oil feed lines are not interfering with the linkage at the front of the carb. Does it still stick when moving the linkage by hand, or only with the gas pedal (maybe bad cable or cable routing)?
