Sounds as if the throttle cable is being pinched somewhere along its length.
It should run really freely.

Have a look on here to see the spring set up if it is a weber you are running.

A new cable is pretty cheap, about £12 from GSF. Worth taking a look at the bush on the pedal, these perish over time, about a fiver from the dealers.
