| if the throttle is stuck open, the slide isn't moving freely. when putting the slide back in, make sure the jet needle slides down into the needle jet and moves up and down with the throttle before mounting the carb back up. hopefully you didn't bend the needle when it got caught up

| Have someone that knows how to work on the carb, replace the float valve and make sure the float is working properly. Clean out all the jets while in there too. You probably didn't get the needle in the needle jet properly, or let the cable slide up and out of the cap on top of the carb.
