Possible,but not likely.As stated you have a cable binding.When you say"it only idles high after i give it gas" reinforces that.If you unhook the cables at the carb,you should be able to tell which cable is binding.Also you will be able to see if the bike will idle & rev freely without the cables hooked up, eliminating the carb as the problem.
:cool:

What Blaine said. You might also want to check for a vacuum leak. That can give you a fast idle too.

Did you check for a vacuum leak? Just unhook the choke and try it, its possible that it may be sticking.

If you removed both throttle cables, and disabled the throttle, how can you turn the throttle grip & make it work????

I think he means when he revvs it from the side of the carb.

Re: Bike wont start!/ fouling plugs?

It would appear to be something sticking in the carb. How's your skills at stripping the carb? Or would you be happier letting the shop do it for you? Either way, it seems like it needs doing straight away.
