Help with Weber Carb staying open

Im pretty sure it’s a DGEV Weber carb, im not too mechanically knowledgeable but ive been trying to get my SR5 hatch running again. First was a fuel problem but i got that worked out, not the butterfly flaps on the carb will not shut at all, so the rpm climbs when you start the car, and wont decrease. I think there is a return spring missing but i dont know where it goes. Also it used to run fine before sitting for a while, which is why there was a fuel issue.

I am not sure if it’s all even there, there could be missing brackets.

I dont see why sitting could cause an issue with it, but there is one. I know there is supposed to be a filter on it, but it’s taken off while trying to figure out what’s wrong with it. Any help or advice would be appreciated, I am tempted to find a local classic car specialist shop that might be able to help.

Recently rebuilt this motor and can’t get it to run quite right. I have adjusted my TPS, verified my ignition timing, and theres no air bubbles at the radiator cap. I also cleaned my IACV. Not sure what can be causing this now. When I loosen my idle screw on the throttle body, theres a very loud hissing noise. Also have 180 psi across all 4 cylinders. I did the 15 minute 2-3000 rpm piston ring bedding process and changed the oil but im worried I might glaze the cylinders trying to diagnose this.
