Just as an update:
I took the carb off and cleaned it out. The throttle closed perfectly. It seemed that there was some gunk preventing it from closing fully.
Got it back on the car and found out my linkage was also holding it open slightly. After some modifying, I got it to work. I drove it around for a bit the other day and it is so much better. I got the idle down to 500 RPM instead of the 900 RPM it was at before.
