You had the carb off, you need to readjust the governor also. That is likely why the throttle responds differently.
I'm not sure why you would think I lied about doing carb work and don't know why I feel the need to prove myself but here, look at this thread and note the username: http://forums.everything2stroke.com/...eaning-rebuild It's safe, just a dirt bike/quad site that I wrote a sticky for.

I haven't found a manual online for this engine yet and I'm not going to go messing with the screws until I at least understand what they do. As for the governor I didn't realize you had to readjust it just because you removed the carburetor and again, without a manual, I'm sort of screwed.

It runs fine at the original settings, it's just the starting issue and it may be what you said earlier about needing to break in a little because it fired right up this morning. I'd still like to find a manual though and adjust that governor.
