Do you have fwd controls?
Mine was doing the same thing but a spray of WD-40 cured it.

Fatbob. Nice to hear that fixed the problem. Now quit using the space bar so much. The forum is hard enough to read without you adding so many backslashes every time you double space.

OK now that you found out what the problem is you have to fix it,WD40 is not the fix.Take it apart and clean all that crap oiut of there and put some "neve seize" on it for lubrication or it WILL happen again.Dave...
