Make sure all your throttle linkage is lubricated. Be sure it moves properly. Have someone push the accelerator pedal while you look at the linkage (take the air filter off) Watch for old and brittle rubber connecting tubes.

If brown telltale rust around the throttle linkage connectors, remove one at a time, clean and lube with something such as ATF. It provides lube but unlike a paste doesn't attract too much dirt.

You can pop the bell cap ends off by using a 10mm wrench end.

Keep us posted.
