Check inside the thumb throttle. There is a switch inside of it for safety should the throttle cable become stuck. If the cable doesn't fully go back with release of pressure on the throttle it closes the switch and kills the engine. I think it's called the ECT switch.

ETC = Electronic Throttle Control. It should be okay if you have 1/16" - 1/8" of slack.
