Yz125 'arping problem

Hi,
I have a YZ 125 2 stroke. I have just recently started having a specific problem with my bike and hope to get a clear answer here. Every time I start up my bike, engage the clutch and put into 1st gear. Before I can even get going my bike will rev and arp out as if the throttle is being engaged. Yet I'm not engaging it. It's so bad that I have to cut engine kill switch. Anyone with answers to this or have ideas plz post here and email me? Also clutch was just replaced 15 hours ago. Email me at: jmbrown0311@gmail.com

Sounds like the throttle slide is installed backwards, or the float isn't set correctly giving you a 'lean rev.' -BIG DAN:thumb:
 
Does the motor begin to rev (gain speed) when you pull the clutch in? By the way, I had a high school teacher named Robert Arp. He took a real dim view of all that we did with his last name (everything from the hair lip dog joke, to course references, such as "are you going to 'arp class' today?"
