Why does the metal arm,






which is attached to black plastic piece,








hold the *power* wide open. It's stuck wide open.

This is the manual choke. Works as should.






( Not the throttle, scooter flies without touching throttle)

To be clear, that is not your throttle cable? If your throttle cable is stuck it will hold it wide open and stay there so you start going.

From the pictures I don't see any other cables for throttle. First just try unhooking the spring and spray some wd40 not just lube because your going to want water displacement and spray it down your throttle cable. And try moving it

It looks to me like the white piece is your choke not the black.

Correct
Bad explanation on my part
Black is pulling throttle wide open, regardless of touching the throttle handle

Make the spring tighter wind it or something and yeah your throttle cable is probably rusty.

Spring looks fucked, replacing that and the throttle cable itself could be a fix

If thing stuck find what thing attaches to and start pulling things apart until you find why it's stuck.

Bing-fuckin-go, my brother.

Like an elementary school teacher with a set of shiny Kobalt doodlely-does, I had (inadvertently?i didn't WANT to fuck things up) pinched the return? spring against, and between, the cover and the motor.

Last four days I:
removed/replaced spark plug
rebuilt? the pull start
removed the throttle
removed the start/stop button
removed the carb
fixed my fuck up........ and know what tools will carry with me

I'm not understanding how having you scooter stuck wide open all of the time is a problem, seems like more of a blessing.

@kylerstephan


That's a governed throttle. There are two springs. Both need to be in good shape.
So you got it fixed now? Was the throttle cable stuck?

The inner, return (closed) spring was trapped/stuck.
Thanks all
