Won't run slow ?? Unless I choke it ??

[Anonymous]

I have been working on a smaller bike too to get it running .. and it
starts great now ... only thing is I have to turn it off
immediately .. because I can't get it run slower then about 8000rpm's ... the cable and
outside lever on the carb are in the correct place..... the only way
I can get it to run slowler is run with the choke on .. and then the
exhaust blackens --- have you ever had this happen? Is
my "butterfly" inside "stuck" in "open" position and broken loose
from the trottle lever??

(this bike set for nearly 20 years--the gas in the bowl was like
kerosene--things have really been "tight" on it)

Thanks in advance for any ideas or possible problems?

A= what is the bike?
B= throttle stuck open is a good possibility.
