This is a good engine, I put one on a go cart I built because it was just
laying around. I was missing a part for the throttle, and didn't see a way
to hook up the cable to the throttle, except going to the carborator. I
started it, and saw the carborator sits wide open until it starts, and
then it moves back into place after you start it. Is the way your throttle
set up too tight and holding the carborator throttle in place so it can't
move back? Start the engine then setup your throttle. Should help.
