Sounds like your throttle stop screw might be set to where it wont let the barrel close all the way.

Agreed, the stop screw should be the first thing to check.
You are saying if you disconnect the pushrod and move the throttle arm by hand it still wont close?

Those screws often serve two purposes. They often hold the barrel in the carb body. That's certainly worthwhile. Sometimes they also limit the amount the throttle can close. Since we almost always have a servo to control our throttles, and we always need the capability to shut down our engines, it's almost completely worthless to have those screws actually stop the barrel movement. So don't worry a bit about turning the sucker out enough that your servo can now shut off the throttle.

But do make sure that the screw won't loosen up on it's own.

Adjust it so the throttle will definitely close completely and then make sure the lock nut is tight.
