It's likely to be a worn throttle spindle and/or throttle spindle bushes.

Is there any obvious movement up and down of the spindle? Even if there isn't there can still be enough wear to allow air in. Try spraying WD40 or carb cleaner or the like around the bushes with the engine running and note any changes in idle speed.
As for replacement, it's probably worth trying the spindle first as it's easy to replace and sometimes all that's needed. If the bushes need replacing then I refer you to these other threads with people more knowledgeable than I commenting in:

Try the return spring / s -Again, an over looked item
Main pull back spring from carb to exhaust clamp / abutement plate. Return spring on the side of the carb ?
Also, is the choke dropping down / jet / likely to increase fuel input ?
Ideas for the pot !

Any sign of burning oil? Just thinking in theory could be burning some oil once hot enough
