I don't know of an adjustment at the carb. There is the one at the handlebar of course but I don't think that it would affect your cruise. The cruise does have an adjustment. It is on the vacuum actuator inside the left lower cowling. There is a procedure in the service manual to adjust the free play.

Does anyone find heavy winds affecting their ability to engage cruise control? Mine seems to be having a hard time when the winds are high and especially when gusting..

The only "adjustment" at the carb is to loosen the long nut and then turn the smaller nut, under the claw fingers, in or out some. This, will loosen or tighten the cable at the carbs. You don't want it too tight as this will yield the problem you described earlier of the throttle not returning.

There is also a point, with the steering head turned fully left, that will bind the cables enough to make the throttle not return. So this might be part of the problem.

Other than that, what Don said about the cruise free play.
