My 1975 CB550 K, which is new to me, has this issue:
When I have it throttled up, it takes a bit of a while to go back down to idle, like the throttle is stuck. I can push on the four brass bolts across the tops of the carbs with my finger to get the idle to come right down again (I am sitting in neutral in my driveway, not riding it til this is fixed). The carbs were rebuilt by the previous owner prior to sale.
Is this an easy adjustment?
thanks
 
Easy fix..Change the spring on the accelerator linkage to a bit thicker one, that'll fix the problem. The old spring has probably lost its tension.
