You might take a look at your clutch
if your clutch cable it a bit too loose, even when you have "pulled" it in the bike will still want to "walk" foreword. Happened to me on my latest build. I finally fixed it by changing the clutch cable from standard brake cable to Indexed derailleur cable housing. There is quite a bit less flex in that housing.
just a thought, Mike

you cant mess the carbs up. theyre waaaaay tooo simple for that.
clutch. pull the bleeding cover off if theres a flathead screwdriver in this tool kit of yours. look at it. if it doesnt suddenly appear bleedingly obvious whats wrong...change your name!
asking these sorts of questions with that sort of username will only result in ridicule!

I already explained what to look for in the carb.
it sounds like you have the slide in wrong.
also check that your choke is opening and closing all the way and that you don't have it closed while you're trying to ride.
I still think that you have your clutch way out of adjustment.
you should be able to tide your bike like a motorcycle using the clutch. man if you can't figure out how to adjust a clutch, what can you do?
adjusting a clutch is pretty much common sense for anyone who knows anything mechanical.
what do you mean the only way to stop it is to use the kill switch?
do you mean to stop the engine, or to stop the bike from moving?
if you can not get this engine / bike to work right i suggest that you forget the whole thing.
paret of building/ridingone of these things is trying to get it to work right and tinkering with it.
if you were expecting to get a kit, slap it on a bike and be riding 3 hours later, you must have been dreaming.
