Throttle Stuck, No Water Involved!

[pondtunes]

Okay so we went out riding and camping over the weekend and had some great fun. But I've run into a sticky throttle which I think im going to blame on the insane amount of dust that was out there this weekend.

 

We were riding trails and jumping hills and such when I went over one and when I landed the shee revved to the moon and damn near ran away from me. My bro in law was following me as I almost endoed the bike getting it stopped where i locked the front and back brakes and dumped the clutch.. It didn't happen exactly like that again but it was not fun at all having it rev to the moon after landing a jump!

 

I haven't had a chance to tear it down yet but im suspecting the insides/tops of my carbs have somehow injested some of this trail dust and caused them to stick.. Any other thoughts?

My friend and I have had a similar problem where the throttle would stick at random, in different riding conditions. I changed my throttle cable and started running Klotz oil and the problem went away. My friend simply started running Klotz oil and this corrected his situation. I know - how the hell could the oil do this, but it's what corrected the problem in his and possibly my situation. After I inspected the old throttle cable I replaced, it appeared fine. Previously, we where both running Lucas oil, which pales in comparison to Klotz. What oil are you running?
