First off I am still learning small engines and not sure what everything is. Sorry guys.

I got a old Honda passed down to me that has had some problems. At first it was surging. Bought a new carb and installed, changed plug, oil, and filter, and gas. The surging went away but now it idles extremely high and loud like its on clutch the whole time. Does not respond to idle control until I want to turn it off. Springs seem to be working okay but the gov. arm doesn't move much when I change the idle at the control.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Also if the spring and arm connected to the butterfly valve were backwards or something would that cause the issue? Also the butterfly valve on top of the carb does not move when changing throttle at control.

What are some of the things I should check and where are they located. Thanks guys.
