I thought I had a problem with the throttle cables on my RS, but it turns out to be a carb issue. This is a (I think) stock S1WL carb, rebuilt (but who knows if it was completly disassembled) a couple years ago. The butterfly was frozen closed and was very hard to move. I sprayed cleaner and WD40, wiped off the mechanism and moved it around until it responded like it should (sopeneasy, snap closed) and rode for about an hour yesterday. But I noticed this morning the throttle was slow to open and close again. Any thing I can do (other than replace the carb which I don't have time for?) Thanks, Josh |

Is this one of those Quiksilver carbs? I read that those crap out. |

Have you tried popping off the top and cleaning out the slide? That shouldn't too hard if you have one of those little philips screwdriver ratchets. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_009041160 00P?vName=Tools&cName=Hand+Tools%2C+General+Purpos e&sName=Screwdrivers |

the slide could cause that? I'll admit I don't know much (ie nothing) about carbs. |

Try a complete disassemble {easy}and soak in carb cleaner....That will usually get rid of all gungies & free things up...Hb |
