Yeah, those carbs have issues. I just sent mine back to traxxas for the same exact issue. If you try opening/closing it buy pulling on the arm like the servo does you'll notice it binds. From what I have gathered from others this is an ongoing issue and people have rigged up retuirn springs and such directly on that arm.

I had that issue with mine also. It didn't seem to affect the engine while it was running, but it sure was annoying to know that my carb was sticking like that. I just used some after run oil and manually pushed and pulled the carb for a bit. It lost that hang up after a while.

Those carburator housings are very sensative to dirt or any bur in the slide bore. Try a little after run oil in it. If that does not help you will have to replace the carburator housing. Its not an expensive part to replace considering the damage to the truck when the throttle sticks and hits that tree!
