Firstly, I'd make sure it is the levers that are stuck. Try taking the rods off the bottom and trying again. The top plate in the distributor might be stuck - same with the linkage at the back of the block for the hand throttle. Does the accelerator pedal move OK? If all this still indicates they are stuck, try a little penetrating fluid on them top and bottom. They might be stuck at either end. If the bottom ends is where the problem lies, try some heat on the column where the rods exit and a tap with a hammer. let us know how you go.
