After throwing it in neutral and bouncing off the rev limiter i finally get it off the road and turn it off, after about 5 minutes i start it up and its fine.

Now noticing on the way home every time i go WOT it sticks,

Narrowed it down to the springs in the throttle cable assembly being worn out or something, first i though it must be the WOT switch shorting out but no upon further inspection of throttle and trans cables when you pull them tight as if going WOT they stick in the same position. Also springs feel very worn out.

figured id share this scary *** experience with my sc bretherin
My pedal just got stuck wide open going through a construction zone. Thankfully no one was hurt, but I’m 95% sure the spring or cable got stuck Bc my floor mat wasn’t in the way.
got it in neutral and was able to slow down, talk about a scary time. Gonna look at it tomorrow.
