What did you do to get it to open all the way?
Maybe back that off a hair and see if the idle comes down but still get full throttle.

Well, that is a nice pic of the pedal but is of no help as we need to see the throttle cable attached to it ...

He did say that at one time his setup was working. I was going to suggest adjusting a little at a time. Seems to me that some carbs do not open the throttle plate all the way as well. Mostly open but perhaps not parallel to the flow.
