If it doesn't rev at all there are a couple possibilities. It is possible that the actual throttle shafts' splines are not engaged with the throttle lever. Or the the governor assembly is not hooked up to the lever assembly.

i second that motion.
and that the throttle shaft splines are not clocked right before putting the lever on.

Oh man, that means your splines aren't in the right postition. Basically you are gonna need to keep playing with the splines until you get it back int he EXACT same spot it was when you took it apart, it is crucial that you mark the splines so you cna put them back in the exact same spot. Bummer dude hope you have some luck and get it back to the same spot.

3 splines is a lot, once you get the splines out of wack its pretty tricky to find the right spot again. IF you get really close but the engine runs away once you get about half way through the rev range you are pretty close, and than you can just back the fuel screw otu and you should be good.
