1980 SR250 Weird idle on decel.

Hey guys,

I've been getting my gf's SR250 ready for her and I have an odd issue. It runs/starts fine. But when you're coming up to a stop, it will hang on its RPM's.

But here is the weird part. If you're stopped and let the clutch out a touch in first, it will come down and stay down. Even after you've pulled the clutch back in.

The throttle cable is snapping back, and I can see the throttle come to the stop, but it just hangs.

If you're at a good idle and rev it, it will hang, then when you let out the clutch a pinch, it will return.

Has me stumped.
 
Ended up being the engine to carb boot was looser than it should have been. I think once it got warm it would get a little leak. And when I'd ease out the clutch, change in vacuum would pull it back good.
