Throttle stock wide open on 15 600xm.

Throttle stuck wide open on 15 600 xm. Has anyone heard of or had this problem? It was fairly cold... -25. And about a 1-1/2 feet of fresh. Any intelligent feed back would be great, thanks

i think the hand and thumb warmer when the snow is deep can create moisture in the cable. and the extreme cold causes it to freeze.

and it seems to happen more so when the snow is dry. Powder flying all over the sled instead of the heavier, wetter snow. Just what I have experienced.

Take a look at the throttle itself, sometimes snow gets jammed up in between the flipper and mount and will cause it to get stuck. Had that happen on my rev a few years back and I put it in the back of my enclosed trailer, while the door was closed. That one hurt a little. lol

Happened to me a few times. Ice between cable and sheath at flipper was the culprit for me. Usually in deep snow.
Methyl hydrate is my solution. I keep one of those little lock deicer squirt bottles in the glovebox.

These type of conditions are the worst time of the year. Very cold, deep dry pow everywhere. Freezes throttle cables up, carbs freeze and airboxes fill with snow. Hard to keep it out of things when the snow is this fine

This is why I _always_ flip the throttle before starting my sled.
