there should be some play in these two spots...also...if you have the bike running and turn the idle set screw at the carbs out...idle down...does it die eventually ...does the idle screw adjust/set idle like it should??

If you leave it then somebody else is bound,
To find that treasure, that moment of pleasure,
When yours, it could have been.

Also, the throttle mechanism might be located to allow inside of the throttle grip to rub against end of the handlebar.peter1958 wrote: If the handle is to close to the controls it can hang up as well.
If not already done, would assure the grip isn't rubbing against end of the handlebar.
Good Fortune!

as far as the cable goes, there are no tight bends and the handlebar is not a problem. the cable mooves freely.

The vacumn slides do not effect idle period. The idle sircuit is controlled by the pilot jets and idle mixture scews. You can let the bike idle and raise the slides manually and it won't do anything so do not start messing with those. They are supposed to come down slowly and they are controlled by engine vacumn.
