Default Sticky carb slide on OS .21 VG on Losi 8 buggy

I have the OS .21 VG engine on a Losi 8 buggy. Two things are going on with the carb.
1. When I close the carb it reopens some and will not hold closed
2. When I open throttle with servo the carb seems to bind some and then pull open fully. When I close with servo it seems to catch and then close but wants to rebound.
Please give me suggestions on how to fix this.

If this happens only when connected to the servo, then you'll have to look at the linkage. If this also happens when you operate the carb by hand, then you'll have to disassemble the carb to see what the difficulty may be. We'd not know what's wrong unless we can see it.

A little scotchbrite and it's all fixed. Worked fine this past weekend at race.
