Default Help!!! my carb isnt closing!!!

I was doing some jumps with my mgt and now my carb gets stuck at the half way point its hard for me to pull it open or push it close, Its definitely not the linkage. What can It be?? Has anyone else ever had this problem?

Just checked it not the idle screw. When Its fully closed I hit the throttle, it opens half way and gets stuck. Then I have to force it close with my hands.

Not realy sure what to tell you.. I did have an airplane motor once that done the same thing to me. I took the carb barrel out of the carb and the groove where the idle screw fits I had to take a small file and I filed the groove a little and it fixed the problem, it must have had a little burr on it or something makeing it hard to open or close.
