Bob,
Solids would do the trick. I used them when I was researching the
problems I was having earlier. However, you might want to research the
reason for the binding. Make sure the cable enters the housing straight
on and exits the same. Make sure the pivots on the throttle arm are
free from binding. No tight bends, anywhere in the run. Flushing the
housing and relubricating the whole thing may help.
As for the solids vs braided, I've seen no real difference, other than
to help with a binding problem. On a properly run set of cables, the
originals work fine...
