as with any sliding part it needs lube so get some after run oil on it and make sure your linkage is not binding.

sounds like a bur some where.

Sometimes the idle adjust screw is out so far that the slide will close past the point that it should, then unless the slide moves open the idle adjust screw will put a bur in the slide and this will cause it to bind a little.

Did you seal the carb body to the case? Did you clean the replacement carb before installing it? Also, if you have not checked or changed your air filter regularly some dust may have caused the resistance.... or you may have a hole in the carb boot which will also allow dust to enter the carb body... the dust mixes with the fuel and creates a gummy surface and will cause the carb slider to stick... its very easy to check and clean out...

*Back out the idle screw so you can remove the slider...
*Spray some methanol hydrate into the carb body and slider... wipe off residue...
*Use 2 to 3 drops of after run oil on both the slider and carb...
*Re-install the slider and set the idle screw approx 2mm open...
*ALWAYS use a throttle return spring, for safety from a run away and to help close the carb to maintain idle settings...
*Double check linkage adjustments...
*Re-adjust idle setting/tunning during operation...

This will clean any dust or gummy fuel off the moving parts and should fix the sticking problem, if not, your carb has been damaged and will need to be replaced...
