Took it back in the garage, looked at the governor arm and it appeared to still be pulled back and closed per the spring I put on there. I tried to slow down, but the carb seemed to be stuck open again. I started the bike and it was running fine at first, took it up and down the street, then gave it full throttle and all of the sudden I got a huge surge in power/speed. I put a make-shift spring on the governor arm going backwards to pull the arm tight to the closed position. I put the new air filter on yesterday and the header, the new carb, and reconnected all of the throttle springs, and the carb is still not closing and I think it definitely has something to do with the governor arm. I ordered the stage 1 performance kit from GoPowerSports and also a new carb with the jet already installed. I talked to a couple small engine mechanics over the phone and they indicated that the carb might be the issue - like stuck float pins or something. After taking off the air filter and carb, taking off the gas tank and evaluating all the springs, I ordered and replaced all of the springs on the throttle and governor arm. Thought it was the throttle, but it seemed like the governor arm wasnt returning all the way to closed. I turned around and basically coasted back down the trail to the truck. If I would let up the brake, the bike would take off. About halfway up it seemed like the throttle was stuck open and I was riding the brakes a lot. Took it on a 3/4 mile trail ride - steep and rocky, so I was on the throttle a lot. Took it on a 5/6 mile trail ride and everything was great I purchased a BT200X a couple months ago and have taken it out a total of 3 times on some back trails. Sorry my first post is asking for help, but I am not sure what to do at this point.
