Trike wont accelerate

[xspade17x]

So I got the bike running but now my throttle wont accelerate the bike. I think I have it setup wrong. This is my first one. Also how do I wire the kill switch that's built into the throttle when it doesn't reach?

You need a few butt connectors and some wire to extend the wires of your kill. If you disconnect the cable, will the motor rev up with the throttle on the motor. i.e. with the drive disabled.

Do you have a picture of the drive system to post?

Okay, the throttle cable pulls what its connected to but the other two arms linked with springs do not move at all so the carburetor, I think? Is not getting any gas.

I had the throttle cable too tight. But now its smoking????

What's smoking the cable or the motor?

From the look of your forth picture, it looks like it's at full throttle already.

Probably put too much oil in the crankcase. You can expect some smoke from a new motor because everything get lubed on assembly, and until all that gets burnt off it will smoke.
