However, recently the problem progressed to a point where I realized it was more of a "sticky" situation. So, I decided to clean the throttle cable. While I was back there, it was also time for another temporary "fix" to my sticky choke valve. As if that wasn't enough, my turn signals had stopped working. At least it was a quick fix. I'll be returning to this sticky throttle cable soon, as my fix was a quick one, not a proper one.
