1996 Sea-Doo GTI throttle issue

[Kris-topher]

I own a 1996 seadoo GTI, I recently pulled the carbs off to rebuild them. It’s a dual carb system.
I went to reinstall them hooked up the cables and noticed the throttle was not as quick to return to the idle position as my other ski is.
Initally the cable came out of the oil pump arm under the carb so I turned the pump arm counter clockwise to retention it then hooked the cable back up again. I spun it counter clock wise till it stop and wouldn’t go anymore then reattached the cable so it’s at max tension.
And it still seems like it doesn’t snap back as quickly. When the throttle is pushed all arms including the oil pump arm moves at full capacity. But is slow to come back.
I don’t know if this is the way it was prior or it is new issue and maybe I’m missing something
Is this going to hurt anything if we run it? And what could be causing the increased slack in the cable?

This really shouldn’t be in the performance section, so one of the mods will probably move the thread.

Is there any fraying on the metal part of the cable or kinks in the sheath? My first thoughts would be either one of those or the cable is worn and needs to be lubricated.

Accidentally got posted in performance.
But the cables seems tobe in really good condition no fraying no build up of oil residue or Knick’s in the sheath.
What would you recommend to lube the cable?

You’ll need a cable luber, and they make some specialty lubricants for chain and cables.
