Title: sticking throttle...
Post by: BCConviber on September 11, 2005, 09:08:36 PM
I've got a question for you guys. I rode my Grizzly all day yesterday with no problems.. However, I jumped on this morning, fired it up, hit the gas, and the damn throttle cable hung wide a$$ open! WOOO... that was fun at 7 am :o.  Anyway, I just shut it down and loaded it up. Anyone ever have this happen? I am looking for suggestions before I go tear into. I have to remove most of the snorkel kit and maybe even the gas tank to get at it. Thanks!

Couple of things could have been the problem. If you went mudding some crud may have gotten inside the  clutch cable and caused it to stick  or some mud got suck into the carb and your floater stuck open. I say clean out the carb and spray some wd-40 down the clutch cable. That should solve your prob.  -Mark

Yeah, I'm gonna spray some lube down the cable tonight and see if it pops back... Didn't really ride in mud saturday, mostly trail riding looking for hogs. Thanks for the ideas!
