i have an idea

 

If you have an idea then state it. I have an idea too, but you are the one that has to provide us with information. It sounds like your secondary is open. Check your idle speed screw, and make sure you have a little bit of slack in your throttle cable.

I think if your throttle cable is only holding it a little open, then it should only rev up a little, not WOT. If that was the situation, then the second you tap the gas, it would be balls to the walls :headbang: with no in between.

look inside and see if working the throttle cable works on the butterfly valve in the bottom. it may just be getting stuck open or adjusted to be open.

 

that is exactly what happened took the throttle cable off and now it purrs like a kitten, so i just have to make a new throttle cable bracket
