I've  fiddled with the cross shaft and can't see a binding up there. The  
throttle rod seems to attach as it did before, but it does appear to  
turn or twist during the last short distance to fully closed. The  
throttle return spring is relatively new and  strong.





Since you had it apart, it is possible that you re-installed one of the  
rod/links upside down. Usually, by this time, they have been tweaked enough  
that the angle of the rod, as it approaches the blade/lever" with the hole, 
may  have taken a set or been twisted one way or another. As you move the 
cross-shaft  through it's travel, the tip of the rod should stay relatively at 
a 90 degree  angle to the blade. If upside down - especially on the right 
side, since the  left side has the adjustment - see if flipping it makes a 
difference. On the  left side, the adjuster should be down at the carb, not up 
at the cross-shaft.  In addition, you can loosen the three bolts that retain 
the pivot for the  bellcrank on each side, and move it around a bit to 
change the  angles.
