Default 90 sportster idle cable.

Reinstalled carb and the throttle doesn't snap back to idle position. Sort of slowly returns. Slooowly. Is it just a cable adjustment.
The cable adjuster is set to where there NO slack taken up on the cable. When adjusted to take up slack or tighten it gets worse doesn't return at all. Tried stretching the small spring where it attaches to carb. Any thoughts. Thanks v

Remove cable from carb, does the carb snap back properly? If yes, go back to cable routing and adjustment. if no, your carb is gummed up. Good luck.
