The throttle/throttle cable on my 81 750ex will not move at all. I don't know what else to say about it, it just wont move at all. What is the problem or where should I start looking for the problem?

take it apart at the grip on the handle bar and see if the plastic piece that holds the end of the throttle cable broke and is jammed up. Thats where I would start. That and move the throttle on the carbs by hand to make sure its not frozen up on the carbs for some reason.
Is this bike a project that hasn't run in a while or did the throttle just jamb all of a sudden? If it's a project, I recommend a full carb tear down, soaking in carb dip, and replacement of all the various O-rings with a kit from cycleorings.com. If this is a running bike and the throttle just jammed up, I'd reach in with a long screwdriver or similar and try to lift up on the throttle cable attachment at the carbs to see if the carb throttle shafts move. If they do, the problem is with the cable/twist grip assembly so do what Sparky says.

The bike is not a project, it was drove all last summer (by previous owner). I tried lifting the throttle cable attachment at the carbs last night and it would not budge.
...now what?

Started taking the carbs apart. Got hung up with 2 of the air screws as they are so mangled. Going to try to tap them and pull them out.

Don't tap them. Dremmel a notch in them and use heat.
