Wide Open Throttle

[Zach Barr]

Ok, when i go wide open throttle, it will stick like that and i cant do
anything about it from the controller so i just have to kill the engine. I
was wondering what might be causing this, because it just started doing it.
And it only sticks or just goes berserk when i go WOT. Help Please
Thanks

Check to see that the throttle servo is pulling the carb straight out if it
is a slide carb. If it is a rotary be sure it turns the carb, rather than
locking. It sounds like you have a linkage problem.

Check to see if the linkage is binding, also if you haven't already fit a
throttle return spring.

And test it with the engine *stopped*!
