carb slide issue

[roughrider91]

I just got the warrior all put back together and started it up and it was idling high so I pulled it back apart and the slide is not returning all the way back down. im going on a trip this weekend. Any ideas quick fixs or temporary fixs. Please help guys

did you check the needle on the slide? its a long shot but its possibly bent and not aligning with the hole

Yea its not.bent If I push it down with my finger it stays down and goes down easy

maybe the spring above the slide is bent or hung up on something? or your cable needs lube

Which spring the one in the slide or the arm. Would a worn out cable cause this

the one right on top of the slide, it "could" get hung up on something and cause an issue. and yes a cable can cause the issue, disconnect it from the carb an the throttle and see how smooth it moves back and forth, and lube it while you have it apart.
