Could be lots of things ... worn spindle bushings caused it for me. Most of
the time the throttles would close most of the way but sometimes they would
stick when they first touched the bore, and then other times they would
close tightly.
Also check that the piston movement is perfectly smooth. If you can even
hear the piston dragging on the dome (with the damper removed and the dome
off the carb), then something needs to be done.
Poor needle centering can also cause similar problems.
