Answer
Ed have a look at the bushes on the butterfly as if they are worn it will do a similar thing to what you say.
Grab hold of the shaft that goes through the carbie and see if you can rock it up and down or side ways. If you can this may be the problem fit new bushes and butterfly shaft and all should be well.

Hope this helps you out Ed.
