throttle stuck

[oglejust]

so the other day i adjusted my needle to the 3rd notch to raise it a little for some more fuel since my bike was runnin rich. yesterday i was ridin and laid it over on a hill, after i got it down the hill i attempted it again and made it but when i got to the top the throttle stuck wide open.... i ripped it apart in the woods and didnt see anything stuck in the slide or anything abnormal... after twisting it a couple times it broke free, i adjusted the needle back to the 4th position and rode it all day... im thinkin the needle got stuck? any1 ever had this happen?

Having read this post and you're other post about being lean and backfiring I think I may know the answer to both.....You're throttle slide is in backwards. If this happens it will take a perfectly jetted bike and make it backfire and run like crap. How do I know this? I did it myself. The slide will fit both ways but only work right the correct way. Once I put the slide in the right way the bike ran like it's meant to. I would check that before you put any more money into it.
