Default EZ GO Workghorse Engine backfires

I just installed a rebuilt engine in my dads Workhorse. I'm having a backfire issue.
We have messed with the linkage on top of the rear axle... my friend thought this would help. He's made things worse.

I have looked the net over for a shop manual for this cart and can't find one.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Plas

I just found the tech section and there right before my eyes is the shop manual :)
Well this manual is the parts. I need the shop book. Ideas anyone?

It's usually the throttle plate not closing all the way when you let off the peddle.

Stovebolt,

Would you adjust at the carb or back at the linkage over the rear end?
We have this so out of adjustment that the cart goes wide open

What ever it takes to get it to close when the peddle is up.

Also there is a return spring wrapped around the throttle plate shaft that closes it, make sure it's not broke.
