Kurt,
Having had a throttle cable break on me - while riding - I was
able to get myself to a safe situation by holding the throttle in its
current position - if you think about it - a return spring would only allow
idle and if it breaks while in motion, that could cause more problems than
it solves.
In my case, I was able to hold the engine at about 25% throttle -
and I got out of the intersection, safely. Had it snapped and gone to idle -
there was a good chance I would have gotten creamed.
