Rolh, one of the biggest problems is many people have the throttle setup to pull at the throttle rod but don't have the cable setup to push all the cable back when they let off the throttle. They expect the tiny carb return spring to do all the work. In most cases it can't. Most throttle cables feed the end into a washer or disc or something simular at the throttle rod. That washer or disc needs to not only pull but needs to have a wire stop (cable stop) on the return side to be sure the cable gets pushed back up the housing. Some people also use 2 washers when they have the ball end on the end of the cable so the ball is captured to pull and push. This is an often overlooked area on a kart.
