Before I start, I must say I don't think I'm an idiot.....

So I'm trying to adjust the throttle cables as per the shop manual. It's not my first time but every single time I go thru the same thing. I adjust the pull cable with free-play of 2-3 mm at the handle. Then tighten the return to 2-3mm free play at the throttle assembly.

If I pull the throttle just a little (1/4) then it doesn't return to fully closed by itself, I have to pull back. Going more than 1/4 all the way to full throttle it returns to the close position properly.

What I ended up doing in the past was leave 6-7mm slack at the handle and about 4mm on the return and it works fine, just not to speck at all.

I've had different cables so I know they are not the issue.

Anyone want to pitch in on this?

The simplest thing.... maybe I am an idiot after all...
