why can't i slow down?

[batmanandjoker]

i have taken a look at the carb and i don't see any issues there! so why will my throttle not slow down?!?! i have to use my break or kill switch in order to have it slow down or come to a complete stop the throttle is only firing up and will power up and keep going but will not slow down at all!

why will my throttle not slow down?!?!

Are you saying that when you twist the throttle, it starts out as low idle and then gets stuck on high idle, or it starts at high idle and the throttle does nothing at all when you twist it???

 

[batmanandjoker]

it starts out slow but once i twist the throttle a little to give it more it ends up getting stuck on high and will not let me slow down at all!

When you put the barrel slide into the top part of the carburetor once you set your needle valve, did you happen to notice the little nub on the inside of the carby that the long notch of the barrel is supposed to slide over so your throttle doesn't hang up???

as i said before i checked that already

I mentioned that only because that as well as a cable snagged inside the cable housing are two of the most common reasons for this to happen.

Since you seem to have checked everything already, I can't think of anything more to suggest to you then...I will leave it up to others who may be better able to assist you.

Is this a new kit? When I first put my kit together the twist grip itself would stick sometimes.

You did put the spring inside the carb correctly?

 

[batmanandjoker]

yes and i have it running fine now the throttle but when i adjust my carb to give it more gas if i go the full way it fails out and yes this is a new setup
