Honda 4-stroke model B100S s/n1300635. It starts and runs great. But it over rev's. From the start or idle position to get to the top rpm (about) you only move the handle about a 1/4 inch, You have about a 1/4 turn left. I took the carb apart. it looked like new as does the motor, It appeared as if the preious owner ran it out of gas or drained it. I cleaned it and blew it out anyway. This motor is all new to me therefor any help or ideas or adjustments (two needle adjustments etc.) would be great. I checked the float, thinking it might be stuck or leaking. No problem I can see. Is there any place on the internet with pictures or diagrams for this motor? I found a place that listed top rpm as 5000 to 5700 is this correct?
Thanks
