TurboT, as much as removing the body work is a PITA, I suspect that the carb slider is hung up. Open and close the throttle rapidly, and you should feel the throttle close quickly under spring pressure. If not, remove the top cap from the carb for inspection, ensure that there are no burrs on the slider (or the cylinder it slides in) and reassemble.

I wouldn't make any other changes until you're past this point.

If the throttle opens and snaps shut properly, the next step would be to begin moving the needle clip within the slider, and to adjust the air / fuel mixture screw.
