Jets sound very close. I would check the float level. norbsa

I have seen cables that come with kits that are sold that are so heavey they could be clutch cables. A stiff cable will make a new slide stick and gall if the turn at the top of the carb is tight enough. I have made my own cables ever since this happend to me many years ago. If your new slide is skuffed at all this is the problem. Mr. Panic is often right. But you should always check the float level on any carb you install and always on the inclined Norton. norbsa

When I first run with Mikuni throttle would stay open, nothing sticky, but seemed like vacuum was overcoming spring forcing piston up holding throttle open when approaching corners. This added to the general excitement of the ride. I intended to double up on spring or some other bodge, but problem disappeared completely within a few thousand miles & no hint of it since?????? That was several years ago

Route the throttle cable with the greatest radius bends possible. Check the twistgrip...do you have a tension screw? If so, back it off completely and lube the twistgrip/handlebar interface with some silicone grease.

If you are running points, your auto advance may be sticking.
