well a few days ago my 2 stroke bike kit had oil spraying from the exhaust head gasket in a thin mist so i decided to use some permatex motoseal to reseal the gasket, while i was doing that i decided to also use the gasket maker on the intake gasket as it hasn't been replaced since i bought the kit .so i waited 24 hours and when i went to ride today i found that the engine was revving wayyy to high after it warmed up and moving on its own without me giving any throttle i adjusted the idle screw on my nt carb it worked fine for a while but when the engine warmed up even more i had the same issue again and even when i try to turn off the engine using the killswitch it wouldn't turn off and i would have to come to a complete stop and let go of the clutch for it to stall and turn off. i'm not sure if this is a throttle cable problem because the problem would come and go at times or if it is a air leak that may have occurred when i used the motoseal. has anyone had this same problem??
engine revs way to high and accelerates without me using throttle

Thanks for the reply I'm going to check that out tommorow, I heard Teflon tape can be used to seal it would that be a good idea?
Using a o-ring inside the carb as a seat is probably the best way to seal it, try pushing the carb against the intake while tightening, often that works.
