Jonny 2045 throttle woes

[Chainsaw Collectors]

The throttle worked before I took it apart to clean the carb. Now it only works if I hold the carb up so there's more tension. It also works without the carburetor in the bay. Is there an adjustment or something I need to do? It's linked how it was before removal.

If I understand this correctly- with the carb bolted in place- the throttle plate does not move and appears jammed in place- but with the carb removed, the throttle plate moves in full articulation as per normal?
Where is the gasket meant for between carb body and plastic intake block?
The gasket may space the carb back enough that the throttle plate does not catch and bind on the throat of the intake block.

It needs tension to move normal. If the carb is close to where it belongs it don't work.
I've got the gasket, just not shown in the pic. And it doesn't hold it back far enough when I tried that.
