Whoops, he told us the answer. The flywheel gets hot. I suspect that the laminations for one or both coils are protruding too far and are rubbing on the inside of the flywheel. The heat sink path along the crankshaft to the flywheel is pretty long. I”m betting on the coil laminations. R.T.

If this is the case, the throttle lever should back-off on its own. So my question to Billy T: do you have to keep adjusting the throttle? Does it slow down on its own?
