OK, long story short-
I bought a collection of CL350s and one CB450 frame, intending to chop them all. They grew on me. Big time. Now I have a little mild custom project going on one, basically mechanically stock, minimized electrical, stripped to necessities. Cleaned carbs, after which it ran good. Shortly thereafter, it would idle fine, but if I revved it, the motor would just run away and not come back down, so I would have to use the kill switch. Now, as soon as it starts, it heads straight for WOT, and I have to shut it down. What gives? Please, for the love of GOD, don't tell me I need carb diaphragms. Sorry if this is a rookie question, I'm just confused. :x

Assuming the throttle cable isn't hung up, You have an air leak somewhere (usually the rubber intake manifolds)..... Steve

If it is the boots, bike bandit still carries them, like 35 bucks each... it fixed some of my problems...

maybe a dumb ? but does your carb use a slider? My cb200 did the same thing after i rebuilt mine. If you have carb sliders, make sure they are facing the correct way, check the screws for idle and mixture, maybe they are out of wack?...
