Throttle...Throttle is now wide open with no input... Any ideas why?

[DAMIEN1307]

I did zip tie it and it is a little better but 30% of it still has play

You do know that there is cable adjusters on both ends of where the cable attaches to, Right???...lol.

You can see the cables looping out the front.

Not the best shot, but the rear brake and throttle go under the gas tank and out the front. There is a gentle loop off the carb and under the tank.

I did tie it, and it still has a lot of play

Don't ever think you are going to do something once and done. You have know idea how many times I've said, this time for sure, and it still took several more tries to get it even close.

Don't be discouraged, just keep messing with it, until you get it.

Help

This was originally posted as a new thread entitled, "My throttle is wide open with no input. Any ideas why?"
Obviously just a post with the word "HELP" without reference to his intial throttle problem to go by is no help to anyone trying to help whatsoever, so I have merged these threads together.

Is the barrel slide groove lined up with the nub inside the round barrel slide housing on top of the carburetor...If that slide is not lined up with that protruding nub on the right hand side of that barrel slide housing, it will stick in open position and be non responsive to your throttle twisting...It must be able to glide and slide easily up and down...This could also be a part of all your throttle adjustment problems you have also had as well.

That barrel slide can only go into that compartment one way only.
