Default Throttle slow responding

I have a scrambler 400 4x4 2 stroke and when I give it throttle it doesn't respond very quickly, I have to hold it wide open to get it going and it will slowing get to full throttle. but when I let off it starts all over. I will not idle either. anyone got any ideas?

Check the air filter to make sure it is clean. You also might want to inspect the reed petals.
