Unhappy strange throttle shaft problem..works backwards??

So I went to adjust the idle today and when I got it idling where i wanted it, I put it all back together and when I give it throttle it idles down. It's like the throttle shaft is working the opposite way its supposed to. I turn the throttle shaft counterclockwise and it will idle down until it dies. What did I screw up???

Fatt, Id say your throttle shaft is 180* out of adjustment. Its working back backwards
