KXT500:
yea i know about tethers. it really was the 1st day that i had it running :lol:
well i found the problem. i have another 39mm pwk to reference so that helped. my pwk on the 3 wheeler had a PJ carb cap in it. no big deal right? well the throttle tube is smaller and it was catching on the top of the cable retainer. it sticks tight too!!! i put the other cap on and all is fine. i have to tore apart for paint and repair now.

Sorry to hear about the mis-hap..
We were having a rash of throttles sticking on a 500 Honda site a few years ago.
It seems the end of the sheathing on the cable pulls out of the top of the carb and hangs up and won't let the throttle close.
Ooops... I see you've already got it. And yep the CR's used a PJ OEM.

In the old days it was mandatory to lockwire the cable to the carb. If you wanted to live. Cam.
