Default Sticky throttle on banshee ONLY when humid outside!!

In the dry, the throttle never gives me any trouble.
But, at pismo a while back, sticky throttle. (usually about 1/8 open)
Has not done it since pismo.

BUT, took her out in the rain today for the first time, same thing!!

And I dont think its something getting splashed or anything.
It was acting up well before the bike was actually put through a puddle or anything.

Any ideas?

On days with high humidity or rain carb icing COULD be the culprit . The icing occurs in the throttle plate area due to a drop in pressure and temperature with the engine running . These symptoms should disappear once the engine and components come up to temperature . Good luck and let us know how you make out !
