It won't stick if it's fitted properly - the problem is cluelessness.

Cables have adjustment threads at either end. If you can't figure that out...

And now?

To try to answer breakz187's question (who bump this thread): When the throttle is closed all the way, there should be a little bit of slack on both cables, I think I can wiggle mine about a 1/4 inch total. Make sure to turn the bars full lock to lock and check the tension then too. I messed up on my first carb-reinstall a few years back... The cable would tighten just a hair when it was I had the bars turned far one direction. Took me a little while to figure it out while I was turning the bike around in idle, it would rev up a little!
