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;)

Clutch slipping.

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.
