It is hard to say what is causing it, anything hooked up to the throttle shaft that -can- catch on something will keep it from moving. Might the the choke assembly, the shaft bushings might be worn out and the butterflies are catching on the side of the carb. throat, it may even be something as silly as someone hooked up the linkage incorrectly and has now locked two parts together so that they will no longer move.

Start unhooking things you will eventually find out what is causing it.
