    I would first check two things. 1. The throttle shaft arm that the cable pulls may be bent slightly and is catching on the carbs. 2. The throttle cable is out at the bracket on top of the carbs.

    dumb question, have you lubed the cable lately?? if so, check for a pinch or kink in the cable. I have a slight pinch in my cable, routed it wrong when I lubed it, so the tree pinched it.

    I have one made by Unilube. Works great. Not the cleanest tool, leaks some spray no matter what but it does get the lube down the cable in about 3 sec.
