Timhorr,
I have a Lokar brand throttle cable in my BDR. It is intolerant of any bends. In my installation, the cable comes straight from the carb, through the firewall, then in a huge arc to the pedal. If I use a cable tie to "neaten it up" under the dash, the throttle returns very slowly. I can reach under the dash and pull gently on the cable which will cause it to hang up a little (not as bad as yours sounds). Bicycle shops and Motorcycle shops have dry cable lubes which would probably cure your problem, but you'll have to remove the cable to properly lube it. I've been thinking of doing mine.

Hope that helps.
