help, high idle problem

[Rupe]

I took my bike out to kimmies today, but unfortunatly I couldn't use it.

I started the bike in the normal way, with the choke out and second kick it fired. But it went straight up near to the red-line and stayed there when I pushed the choke in it stayed there. It kept doing this and was idling irraticly and mainly screaming the nuts off it.

It acts as if the throttle cable is sticking, but I've checked it about six times, as well as a few helpful other riders. And there is not a problem, it's lifting the slide, and snapping shut.

I also took the carb out and gave it a quick clean with a rag, but I couldn't see any dirt in it, and the clean made no difference.

I also changed the plug, but this made no difference

I'm going to clean the carb with carby cleaner now, but if this doesn't work I'm completly lost as to what the problem could be (as I have checked, and checked the throtle cable).

Any ideas anyone?

it's running out of fuel as engine especially 2 strokes...will ring it's nuts off as it runs out of fuel...

perhaps carby blocked...

Just going to check the carb now, but it has plenty of fuel.

it seems all good now. Good old carby cleaner did the job.

I think it was prob sand from woodhill, altho I didn't see anything.

Oh well, thanks skidmark, and if anyone who was at kimmies and helped out, thanks very much too.
