I suspect it got jostled hard during shipping or possibly dropped, look at it close & you will be able to where & why it sticks. NW builds good stuff (even if we do compete).

I would try to loosen the two throttle blade screws slightly and tap the blade with the blunt end of a screw driver to settle or re center the blade in the throttle bore.

If there not centered in the bore they will stick
