The linkage is obviously binding somewhere....

Poor cable routing perhaps, try re-routing it better, lube the cable inner/outer sleeve & check for any resistance in the throttle linkage. Its spring tension needs to overcome any friction in the pedal or cable in order to snap shut.

pedal has a spring on it - so it sounds like its jamming inside the car.... otherwise the pedal would just spring back if that makes sense?

spindle may be bent in carbs? Just have a look under the bonnet and push it with your finger (with the engine off)
