Throttle stuck halfway
I have a 1984 Honda spree, it worked good until recently when i decided not to turn over. With further investigation i saw that the throttle has room to not only move downwards as it should but also forward. I unscrewed the throttle cable from the carburetor and the need did not retract with the spring until i was pulling down on the throttle with force. How can I fix this issue?

Re: Throttle stuck halfway
If the throttle slide is not fully dropping to a "closed" position, but it will move when you yank down on it, then you need to isolate the cable from the throttle sleeve ( hand grip part) because either the cable is sticking or the sleeve is not rotating smoothly. Remember, both the sleeve needs to rotate smoothly and effortlessly and the cable needs to slide within it's housing effortlessly, for the throttle system to function safely.

Thanks, I fixed the throttle's positioning, but now it still does not turn over, I also hear a clicking noise when I try to start it.
Re: Throttle stuck halfway
I charged up the battery, before it stopped starting i put gas that I had in my garage into the tank, could that have anything to do with it not being able to turn over?
