I'm sorry, is nuclear fusion involved here? :lol: It's Thanksgiving, I'll be nice :D
Narrow it down, is it the thumb throttle pivot, the cable or the slide?? (probably not the slide)
You may have to remove the cable to figure out which is hanging up.......
Is it a crappy old cable?
Lube the cable, lube the throttle, maybe back off the thumb pivot nut a hair.
If the slide is sticking, I'd just stretch the spring.......
