The throttle angle sensor on the carburetor may contain a nylon rotor which has not been heat treated. Rotors that have not been heat treated contract in the presence of heat causing the throttle mechanism to stick.

Remedy

Replace throttle angle sensor assemblies with new heat treated rotors with larger inside diameters.
