Sounds like you need to loosen the connection at the carb, if you did not make any adjustment at the throttle. There needs to be a little play in the throttle, IIRC...2-3mm.

i tried loosening it at the carb and it still goes back a bit slow

going back slow means something is binding. Did you have the throttle, throttle tube or grip off?

Unhook the cable from the carb and throttle. See if the carbs moves freely then check the same with cable and throttle. Narrow down the problem.

I had a similar problem when I did my carbs and it turned out the cable had come off the track at the grip end. I'd check there just in case. it made the throttle really slow to snap back. just a thought
