something like this happened to me but it didnt want to shift so it may not be the same thing. Check to make sure the throttle cable near the intake end is nice and tight and pulling back to idle position. The spring thing that pulled it back appeared to be worn out. So i stretched it out further to tighten the coil and clamped it back on and it fixed it for me. Hope this helps.
