i.e. does it have a return spring on the throttle arm for the carb.
My aftermarket dual Kadron's linkage didn't have a return spring and the little spring on the gas pedal just laughed at pulling that back to idle.
You may have to get creative and hook one around the intake or something.
I just bet there is a hole cast somewhere in the intake and throttle arm to do just this...

All of above plus sometimes you can pull the cable through the carb connector to tight and the pedal stop will keep the carb from closing . If so just loosen the connector a bit to put a little slack in the cable.
