Then I took the throttle housing off of the clip-on and found a nice thick layer of rust. Sanded the rust off, primed, painted, lubed, and reinstalled the throttle housing. Now it's like having a new throttle; no sticking.

i don't know how to do that, but i'm thinking that's going to be the problem. i'll lube up the cables, but the end of the throttle looks like its hit the ground and has dirt lodged in it. just have to figure out how to get the housing off
