New to karting as a HPDE driver who bought a Shifter Kart

I don’t think the part throttle response issues I’m seeing are due to pedal placement, that would just move my 0-1/4 throttle response to maybe 1/4-1/2 travel on the pedal. What I’m getting is a lot of choppiness in 0-1/4 throttle input, granted this is my first 2 stroke so it’s possible this is normal?

I’ll see if I can adjust the pedals to be at rest a little bit further away because I definitely feel like I might be dragging the brake a smidge coming into/out of corners inadvertently. I’m gonna be heading out to ButtonWillow Raceway on the 12th to get some more seat time in and maybe play with the jetting a bit.

ill have to send a picture of mine. 2 holes for transponder, 10 holes for weights
