He said he immediately shut it off though. Think it still could have fried? I think we need to figure out why it ran wide open in the first place.
First do a Compression test, if around 120 your good
Second Pull Carb and clean it. Clean it with some seafoam and when you go to put your carb bowl together, put maybe a teaspoon of seafoam in there to make sure you get your jets cleaned.
Last: Make sure your running a 310 or higher (depending on the mods) for your Toomey Pipe. A 320 will probably suit you best if you have an Aftermarket air filter.

don't have a compression gauge, how much are they??
Cleaned carb today and she kicked over but I had to keep her revving high or she would stall, if I would let her creep down into the low to mid range rpms at all it would be difficult to rev her back up and then if i didn't rev her back to higher rpms she would stall out.
I have some slight suspiciion the problem has to be in the cylinder. I am ordering the jet tonight and looking at the compression gauge.
The silencer is wet and black after todays warm up attempt and I think the piston chamber is wet and black. For some strange reason I don't think that can be good. How much do ya think a rebuild cost for me to do and for a mechanic to do. Can I do myself?
Thanks again,

Oh yeah a 310 was in when the throttle stuck. Also the tors was still on the bike, but that suckas gone now!
So i priced engines on ebay and found won for $350. Might do that before I take to mechanic and get charged $150 for hime to tell me the top end is toast or something and than another $600 or sof for him to fix
