No Ron, i did that mistake years ago 🤣 the lever is towards me. I had problems last month and I disassemble the carb and cleaned it. Then she runs well, starts at the first kick but we I ride her and try to go full speed, I get this problem. ?
When you cleaned the carb, did you remove the jet block and poke out the tiny drillings in the jet block and the throat of the carb body. Just blowing it through with an air line is not always sufficient.
I've put some very thin wire in the drilling to show what I mean, Ron
I would check to see that the throttle needle is still attached to the slide and moves up and down. If it has come off it will allow it to run at low speed only.
