Hi everyone, I have a Quicksilver MX II with rotax 503 and a single bing 54 carb with the spring and slide. I took the carb off to rebuild (not first time I have taken carb off for cleaning, jetting, etc.) After reinstalling it, when I rev up engine with the throttle lever it will stick at that rpm for a few sec even though I moved the throttle lever back to idle. It seems like maybe I don't have the cable adjusted correctly but I have tried ajusting by tightening it and loosening both ends but cant get it to work right. If I just grab the throttle cable directly above the carb and lift, it will rev and go back to idle just fine or, the slide moves just fine no sticking. Here are a couple pictures of the cable settings.. Thanks -Cory
