scary feeling huh..id check my springs inside the carbs and see if they are catching on something or wore out..but this needs fixed before someone gets seriously hurt!..

Mine kept stickin open and it wasn't the throttle cable it was the slides in the carbs when the weather got real cold the oil would gum up on the slides and they would stick and then i would have clean with carb clean and switched oils that would work better in the cold and haven't had a problem since take off your air filter and thats how i saw mine stickin seein one or the other slide stuck up a little carb clean and it was unstuck

sounds like you need some stiffer springs!..or you can stretch them put some and will stiffen them up too..but a throttle sticking issue is dangerous and needs to be fixed asap...

Take the carbs apart. Soak them over night in carb cleaner. Clean them real well. Take the finest steel wool you can find and sand the slides and the inner of the carb. Put it back together. The stick from dirt and water gettin in.
