Default Throttle sticking

Can anyone help me on this. I have a Polaris 400 xpress. Takes a little while to idle down after you let off the gas. What is the jet setting.
Thanks for your help. I'm new at this.
Please work with me.

check to see if the throttle was manufactured by toyota...

anyway... jets cant be adjusted. Is the 400 express a 2 stroke? if it is it could be crank seals.

2 and a half turns out 600-700 idle speed

check carb. spring and slide, when you have that apart, you can check throttle cable

does it idle down by it self after awhile? it not most likely a cable issue or adjustment. if it does idle down, it may be an air leak. imo

Thanks for help. Got it working. Now can you tell me the gas - oil ratio. Mine is injected and it is putting to much oil in the gas. Smokes real bad running idle and is fouling the plug out.
Thanks
