hey, it did the same to me when i was cleaning out my carb. Loosen the slack adjustment next to the throttle its under the rubber protector . Make sure the slide is in the carb correctly too. So loosen the throttle and tighten it up so you get a small abount of slack in the turn then adjust your idle accordingly. Good Luck

dam alright, i didnt mess witht he idle at all, hopefully its just the cable

my idle was fine until i took the carb apart, for some reason it seemed like the throttle cable was hanging up but the throttle still felt okay, im pretty sure its the adjustment for the slack in the throttle assembly. A couple of wrenches and 30 seconds and you should be good. Let me know what comes of this.
