idling prob with pred

[stock400ex]

well what should i do?? it wont start unless i give it gas then whenever i do it dies as soon as i let off. well you know how there is a little bit of play in the throttle, well if you press it till the play is gone it idles fine. i have messed with the idle screw but all it does is make it idle high and whenever i let off the gas it dies. did i maybe foul a plug? cuz whenever i bought it they couldnt get it to start because they said the gas was old in it. so they just kept cranking and cranking. i still have the warrenty on it but if its something simple and free ill do it myself.

thanks

never mind. i figured it out. it was with the etc. i popped the cap off and the two little metal pieces were touching. i just had to adjust the throttle cable where it went into the etc so the metal pieces weren't touching and problem solved :)
