Slightly High Idle..not hitting stop

Hi everyone,

So I have a throttle issue with not returning all the way to idle. The throttle snaps back, but slight high (a few hundred rpm), not hitting the idle stop. If I put my foot under the pedal and pull up, there’s about a mm of travel at the linkage that puts it into proper idle. At the linkage I’ve checked it, and sure enough just a small bump puts it to the stop…the springs are fine, plenty of force..maybe a slight over travel issue that’s pushing forward not up on the accelerator pump? Thoughts? Thank you all!
