I have many times had my carbie ice up resulting in a sticky throttle. Conditions yesterday in the general vacinity of Camden where no where near the conditions to result in carby ice...
So if it wasn't carby ice and it hasn't happened since it's most likely to be?

Something sticky with your accelerator cable and throttle linkages. Chaeck around the acc. pedal to see nothing is fouling.
Have a play with the movement of the accelerator cable and lingages and try to gauge a feel for where it might be stiff or sticking. Check for rubbing or a spring which is too soft to return the linkages when you let go of the pedal.
make sure the cable can pass cleanly through the firewall at the back of the accelerator pedal without getting bound up on anything.
Accelerator cables are inexpensive to replace if need be.

Make sure your throttle return spring is still in place. Otherwise check the throttle cable. Pretty basic fault really.

Mick's list is quite good, I would only add that you also carefully check the split pin that holds the cable clamp to the throttle spindle. If this is too long or bent over the wrong way, it can
sometimes (hence why you need to check carefully) foul the manifold.
........oh and check your jock...errrr........ earth strap and battery connections.....
Or go buy a Getz..........
What about my list back on page 1!!!!! hahahahaha! +1 for Getz!
