I've got a 96 Scrambler that I was borrowing from a friend. Took it out in the first snow I got here and tore around. Definitely a good time. I went to start it the other day, and the throttle is stuck. I thought that was wierd. I followed the cable and everything looks fine with it. I don't see any snow or ice on it. After I let it sit there idling and warm up, it worked just fine. So I left it and tried it the next day. Same thing, it was froze up again. Any ideas as to what I can check??

Thanks!
Jeff

 

might have gotten water inside the throttle cable jacket. there is a little tool that lets you attach it to the cable without having to remove the cable and it lets you spray lube into the housing to clear anything out. usually arount 15 bucks and most motorcyle shops should have one.

 

take the oil pump plate off and check for moisture

 

Same thing happened to my 2002 when it was frozen... warm garage = fixed
