Question

Answer
Might be that the enrichner cable has snapped just behind the gold colored nut that you'd tighten against the mounting bracket by the knob that you pull on, in the plastic area. Causing it to stay on a little bit or you might have a throttle cable line routing problem, like a wire tie pinched to tightly under the gas tank.
