Sticky throttle cable or gunked up carb?

Hey everyone...I have a '97 and she's been sitting in the garage for about 5 years waiting and waiting. I am now able to get her up and running, but have encountered an issue or two.
I replaced the battery, about to do an oil change and fresh gas. The first issue is when I tried to start her the throttle grip wouldn't move. I moved it by hand at the throttle wheel and it was very stiff and didn't spring back as it should.
So the question is...is it a sticky throttle cable or is the carb gunked up and the butterfly won't move? Which would be the first thing you would check in order of probability and simplicity.
This forum rocks and I'm so happy to have found it!
Thanks in advance.

I would guess its in the cable, but youll know for certain where the drag is if you grab the carb end of it & try to swing the lever the cable swings.
