My throttle is really stiff. Like the little lever for your thumb is pretty damn hard to push in. How do i adjust this?

Check for the obvious first. make sure the cable is routed correctly and free from bends and kinks. If the carb as serviced recently make sure the springs were all put back in the correct places.

The next thing is to remove it and thoroughly clean it out and then lube it. I use a cable luber with carb cleaner to purge it out, then compressed air, then lube it.
If it's still hard to press after that it's time for a new one.
