Check it out, and try to figure out if it is sticking. Look right down the throat of the carb to see if the blades are staying a little open. Do you have any WD40 or anything like that? That will work, too (just not as well). Carb cleaner is around 5 bucks.

A place like Autozone can likely loan you the tool to hook up to check timing/idle speed

Hmm, Well what exactly is the linkage?

I took off the cleaner and disconnected the hoses etc. but everything seemed good in there... I touched those two small blades open and they close right back up no problem... It seems pretty clean in there... i didnt really know what to look for... lol
