tedd1 Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 (edited) Sho, I think at this point, if it was me, I would completely disassemble the throttle cable, thumb, and slides. The cable could have a kink which would make it tight. When you have it off, check that it moves freely. You can clean and lub cables, but they are cheap, buy a new one if there are any doubts. The thumb may need a bushing or at least a cleaning and lub. When you take the top off the thumb unit and get the cable out, there is a nut on top off the shaft that, when removed, will allow the thumb lever to slide out through the bottom. Clean and lub it and reassemble. (To mavguy: at this point, you can put in virtually any thumb lever you want. Get an after market extended lever :thumbsup: ) Make sure the slides move freely in the carb body when there is nothing attached to them, just the slides. If they do not, you can sometimes get away with polishing the slides and inside the carb with some ScotchBrite or some steel wool. Just be very careful that you don't remove any metal, just take away what it not supposed to be there. While you have them out, check that the needle that sticks out bottom of the slides is perfectly straight (as zach45 suggested). If one is not, replace them both. They come in the carb rebuild kits that you can get at your local dealer for under $25. Let us know what you find. Rick Edited January 1, 2008 by tedd1 Quote
