draggins10 Posted September 5, 2014 Report Posted September 5, 2014 When first started or when it is wet out my throttle sticks. It will start up and idle fine but once I hit the throttle the rpms keep climbing and don't drop down. When I put it in gear and let the clutch out the rpms will drop down but once I hit the thottle again it revs up and sticks. I took out one of the carb slides to see if the spring was getting stuck and noticed this milky substance. Any advice? Quote
oldskool Posted September 5, 2014 Report Posted September 5, 2014 Clean carbs, then with slides back in, push/twist throttle and release to see if slides are going all the way back down. Cable could also be sticking. Might try lubing cable Quote
03DMshee Posted September 5, 2014 Report Posted September 5, 2014 Also check for air leaks...if your rpms stay up you might have a lean condition...do you know what jetting is in there now? When did this start happening? Anything you changed? Or did it start out of no where? Quote
draggins10 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Report Posted September 5, 2014 Carbs are clean and the throttle cable is new. I'm not sure what jetting it has now. I had a local shop rebuild my motor about a year ago. It started doing this a couple months ago, but it doesnt happen every time. Only happens when its wet out or sometimes just the first 5 min of riding, then it runs perfectly Quote
