Sorry I could've explained that better, somehow it's warped inside there and doesn't fully close on the front which is why it's not resting on the idle screw and I figure that's the reason it's revving the bejesus out of itself when started.

When I came back to pick her up the grip was solid like it was seized up and I can only assume my dad (bless him) had been trying to force it open and possibly causing the issue?

The plate isn't round, I'm assuming it's supposed to be which is why I say it's warped/out of shape, it is still flat.
