    So went to do the shop this morning and i set off as usual everything was fine, as soon as i give it a tiny bit of jip it revved right round to redline and stuck there, the cable is not stuck as far as i can see and its idling really funny!

    Iv got a little video to show what its doing on revs and idle:

    cheers Lee

    Have a similar issue, revs to about 2.5k on startup and revs drop very slowly, any chance you could share how you repaired yours?
