I'm in the process of getting my dad's 1998 B7300 ready to move back to my place. Dad passed in September and mom wants his tractor to have a good home. It was serviced by the dealer in December, all fluids replaced, everything gone over. (614 hours)
Ever since it was serviced, it will not return to idle quickly when reducing the throttle, and its idling about 1100rpm. I've added a pic of the linkage, (lower linkage) and I can push the throttle linkage back down by hand. Is there a spring missing? There is a hole in the linkage. If so, where does the other end connect? Thanks!

There is three return springs, on is under the linkage you show a picture of, remove the 2 linkage rods and make sure it is springy, do not remove the top nut or any of the adjustment bolts!
The other 2 are here:
