Very easy way to check throttle cable and pedal linkage vs blame the carb is to remove the carb return spring and the throttle cable from the carb.
Now take the throttle return spring and attach it to the carb throttle cable.
Then take a piece of coat hanger and bend it so that it attaches to the alternator adjustment strap. See the picture attached. There is usually a nice convenient opening in the strap on the end if you have the correct belt on the alternator. (The coat hanger will be above the carb linkage.
Attach the coat hanger to the carb throttle cable. using the factory spring in between the two (hanger and cable).
Go inside the car and work the throttle pedal. If you still have a bind or rough pedal operation the issue is with the pedal linkage or the cable. NOT THE CARB.
Have fun
Carbs get blamed for a lot of issues. 99% of the time it is "The Throttle blades are hanging in the bores". Very easy to check the other systems with a simple coat hanger and a few minutes time.
