Ken---Look for a burr or a piece of dirt on both sliding parts. It
should not be necessary to do any sanding, unless you see something
obvious.
Be sure the spring is in there, to help push the air valve down. 
 Covers swapped, or on backwards?

After replacing the leaking dash pot 'o' ring on my '74-6 I find that
the air piston is hanging up the inside of the ZS carb cover. The cover
is aligned properly with the lower carb body. 
Nothing I have done so far will enable the air piston to travel up and
down freely inside of the cover whether at idle or 'goosing' the
throttle assy. The air piston remains in the carb cover when removed
from lower carb body. Any suggestion on a remedy other than sanding the
o.d. of the center tube of the piston?
