That could be a critical piece of information. I think you have..........
Something loose or sticking (or both) in the throttle cables or where they attach to the carb.
or
A loose rubber boot on one side of the carb or the other.
or
A buggered up air filter.
or
Internal carb trouble.

Give the cables and boots a good inspection, including the choke cable and the cable attachments at the carb and check to be sure the idle stop isn't missing or vibrated way out to where it isn't touching anymore.

Then check your air cleaner. In transit, it might have become plugged with oil or gas.

Then search around on here for "on the bike" carb cleaning threads.
