I'm having a problem with my throttle beening a little sticky. When the bikes off and I roll the throttle it sticks. When it is running it will roll back with some help. I've tried to adjust the cables and it didn't help much. Any ideas what is an easy fix? Have any guys had problems like this with their dogs? Thx in advance!!

You need to take it apart completely and clean it. You have something in there. Easy fix.

Yes, take it apart and clean it up, put some WD40 or some light oil on the handle bar where the throttle grip rotates on the bar. Also be sure that when you put the control assembly back on the bar that you leave some clearance between the end of the handle bar and the grip.

And make sure the handle bar isn't rubbing the end cap of your grip!! :down:
no amount of cleaning and wd40 will fix that.

Not sure if my issue is the same but seems like every now and then when riding the cable gets jarred out of the cable guide on the carb not allowing the throttle to return.
I don't know the tech terms but when that happens I have to manually make sure the cable get's back in the guide. Anything I can do to prevent?

Before you take it apart to clean it check the screw under the throttle hand control, sometimes that get screwed in by dick heads who think its a joke and end up getting riders hurt. That should be loose as a goose. :2thumbs:

Make sure that spring is inside your throttle cable adapter at the carb. Sounds like its missing
