Sticky throttle Cable

[dooner17]

When the bikes not running the cable moves free. When I start it the throttle cable becomes hard to move and sticks. I lubed the entire thing including inside the carb. any ideas?

I used that graphite powder one time on a clutch cable that stuck. It worked OK for a while. A sticking throttle cable is nothing to mess around with. You can really get hurt if it decides to stick at the wrong time. They aren't that expensive.

yeah it doesnt even have a kill switch. When it gets stuck you just pull the plug wire off. But im sire its not the cable
it has something to do with gas getting on the slide?
