the high speed needel is to rich then so u might want to leen it off a bit but be cearful that u dont leen it out to mutch or your engine will overheat and break down after a while...try to keep it jst a little bit rich tho your engine will last mutch longer

I'd check thte clutch first. If there is fuel coming out of the carb, it's not likely too lean and too rich will not cause a high revving engine.
