Throttle lever not controlling carb after carb cleaning

I have a Husqvarna 23 hp B&S zero turn mower. It was running rough so I removed and cleaned the carb and replaced gaskets. Now that I’ve reinstalled, the throttle lever will not reduce engine speed. See video. It appears to be idling high although manually moving the throttle will increase revs. Manually Moving the governor seems to be choking the engine. I believe I have reinstalled the linkages properly. Any suggestions on why it is idling so high and throttle lever will not control engine speed? Thanks

B&S replacement carb frustration

I have a Husqvarna zero turn mower with B&S 44S777 v twin engine with the attached carburetor that has three linkages- one on left, 2 on right. I have searched Amazon’s cheap carb replacements for the exact carb and all that I can find is two linkage carbs that do not have the rear right linkage that’s shown in photo (I assume manual choke linkage). I mistakenly have ordered 2 of these carbs and they’re both auto choke carbs with spring choke and no third linkage. Questions: are the 3 linkage carbs available? Is it necessary to have the third linkage or will an autochoke carb work with my engine? Any other advice appreciated. Thanks
