96 xp throttle cable will not release

[clemchilds]

I have a 96 seadoo that when ever I give it throttle the cable is very slow to release and sometimes gets stuck wide open. Has anyone had this problem before? Or do you have any suggestions as to where I should start looking?
Thanks for any advice you might have!!

spray some pb blaster or wd40 in the cable to lube it up

Check the carbs. I had the same problem with my 95 XP and it was the butterfly shafts and the small plastic bushing on the one end sticking. I cleaned it all off and sprayed some WD40 on it while I had the carbs off and it works fine now.

Thanks for the help, I plan to pull the carbs tonight anyway, The ski will hardly run now. I am changing out the gray lines and cleaing the carbs tonight.
