XSwheels Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Check the easy things first. Unhook the throttle cable and check for smooth/unrestricted movement. Lube it with light oil at this time. Check for proper routing as well. Make sure your carb slide moves up and down with out getting stuck. Stick your finger in there and move it and make sure it returns all the way down.
