hello i was just running my ct5 and i have noticed that my throttle is getting stuck when the carb is opened up all the way when i let go of the throttle it dont go back. what can be wrong? i think it is getting stuck on the servo or seomthing like that.

Chris Can you make video of the throttle movment with engine off so we can see what is binding?? Iy would be a big help.
If not then be very methodical about tracing the problem. First disconnect the carb linkage, move the linkage with radio. Also check the carb for free movement. if everything seems ok then remove the linkage from the servo and with it disconnected from the carb see if the linkage will move free if there is a bellcrank involved, but if it is directly connected from the servo to the carb, this step is not neccessary. move the servo with the radio, without the linkage to see if the servo is faulty. This method should be able to track down the problem
Good luck and have fun.. Let us know what is the problem!!
