If it was the shafts, bumping the throttle would not ever work to get
it back down. Something is holding the throttle(s) open. Usually this
is a broken wire in the cable, intermittently sticking. I would
lubricate the linkages with silicone spray lube (magical stuff) in
case that's what's sticking. Failing all else, I would add an extra
spring to the return setup.
