Throttle Linkage on Yanmar 3GM30F/Hunter 356

During commissioning of Musetta for the 2017 season, I discovered that the engine does not return to idle speed when the control lever is shifted into neutral. It remains at about 2000 RPM, until I physically move the governor lever/regulator lever at the engine back to idle. I have not yet started to investigate this further, but I can imagine that the problem is either with the control lever on the steering pedestal, or with springs that are inside the governor. Any advice on where to look first?

The lever check that first two cables go to it and the throttle cable isn't sliding back. Take unit apart lube up real good spray in the cables too . it's usually a bad stuck cable and not the lever
