Hi Eric My KR2 (Shrek) did the same at one stage and I found the spring that opens the throttle came off. My system works like this: When you open the throttle the slack on the cable allows the spring that is mounted on the other side of the carb throttle lever to pull the lever open. The throttle cable actualy pulls the carb closed. You can phone me @ 0835805703 if you like Regards Willie
