You need to readjust the governor.

The throttle control you move should be stretching the spring on the governor arm
The governor arm connected directly to the carburettor
Without any other information my assumption is you have connected the carburettor incorrectly
Did you take photos before you unhooked anything ?

I double checked and it looks like it was done right.
