Took the bike on a good hard run out to Naduruloulou Aquaculture Research Station.  It ran well, with no missing.  After a 10-min. cool-down I re-started to return and RH throttle jammed right away.  It stuck tight in the bore and would not drop.  I rode it like that to Sawani Service Station and borrowed a pair of pliers to slacken one nut right off.  It still wouldn’t drop.  I had to limp home on it like that.

Once home I removed the carb slide and rubbed it down with #340 wet&dry sandpaper to remove the high spots until the slide would drop into the bore by gravity only.

Tried running the bike to work for a couple of days, but it runs rough and doesn’t feel “right”.
