throttle problem

[jason.bolan]

so on my 2006 yfz. just got it like 2 weeks ago. brand new. the throttle seems to be getting "stuck". if i let off the thumb throttle the engine continues to be supplied as if my thumb never stopped giving gas. is this a dirty carb issue or something else

[woodsrider4ever]

is it brandnew from the dealer?

[woodsrider4ever]

if it is take it back if should be under watenty for another 2 weeks jus make sure you do it before then

sounds to me like your carb is dirty from old gas and the slide isnt going down fast enough

[jason.bolan]

yes it is brand new

Mine was doing the same thing. I had lost the plastic cap on the top of the carb. There is a spring and plunger under the cap. It could also be dirty or the cable could be kinked.
