LOL... Sorry

Re-running meaning re-route the cables.

Do you have the throttle tube pushed onto the bars too far? The end of the tube may be rubbing the bar end. Make sure the throttle tube is clean inside. Use some WD-40 on it. And like BlacksCreek said play with re-routing the cables. They shouldn't be pulled too tight or twisted around each other. Also, spray a little white lithium grease on the throttle tube pulley and cable ends.

If you can, you should lube the cables. Those little $10 cable lubing deals work pretty well. You'll have to disconnect the cables from the carb to do this. And keep spraying until it comes out clean on the other end. (carb side)

good luck

It sounds like you have the throttle tube pushed too far in. Loosen the throttle and pull it out a couple millimeters and see if it gets better.

Let us know how it goes.

Alright thanks a million guys...im going to go work on it early this afternoon ...just gotta run and get parts

Yeah I agree with the tube being pushed on too far, I always back it off about 1/8". Get a pair of cable spacers and run the cables parallel with each other, it should make the throttle work awesome. You can get the spacers from WMR.

I GOT IT!! Finally Fixed it. I re-routed it and adjusted the throttle cables up top and down at the carburetor. I backed the throttle out alittle bit just to make sure it wont touch the end of the bar. THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP>
