I've been having trouble with my throttle... it doesn't work.
When I'm riding and I twist the throttle, the bike slows down, sputters, and then stalls.
It may be something really simple I'm over-looking, but I've checked the housing a few times in the carb and it still does the same thing.
I've been peddling to gain (small amounts of) speed too, let me know if that's bad.

Thank you,
theo

If the choke lever is 'up' then that's your problem...at least one of them. The choke is closed, no air to the engine, with the lever up. Also I'd suggest lowering your oil content. 16:1 is a little too much oil no matter what the kit instructions tell you. Start at something like 24:1 then go to 32:1 after a few tanks of fuel.
