Choke cable sat correctly into carb? Had a similar problem last year that I eventually solved with the jetting... discovered this year the cable outer was too long effectively engaging the choke.

Regarding 'holding back' check to make sure the slide in the carb fully opens on full throttle. I have twice had issues with this, once when the cable pulled through the screw nipple in the headset and another time when the throttle pulley was getting caught on the speedo casing :?
