I have a Hong Nor LX1, i have started it 3 times, each time I seem to start it at full throttle, so i haven't tryed to start it again, to prevent engine wear. I have taken some pictures of my controller and car, so hopefully you can help me.

1)Here is a picture of my controller, i am unsure as to what several of the buttons do. On the left of my controller there are some Servo Rev Switches, can anyone tell me what they do please. Under the steering wheel there is a lever when you pull it when the car isn't running it moves the needle like the trim buttons do, when i turned my car on and pulled this, the engine cut out, help?

2)Next a close picture of the steering and throttle trims i don't know what the ST. D/R knob does, please can sumone help there. On this picture I have the throttle trim turned up/down as far as it will go, is this low or high trottle?

3)Here is a picture of my car, this picture shows when i have the trim set like in the picture above, is this how i should start the car, ie. is it low trottle?

Any help will be greatly recieved, thank you...
 
in picture 3 that looks like full throttle..pic 4 looks like low throttle....pic 4 should be were you want to start it if it wont start then adjust the trim a bit....then you will need to adjust your idle screw
 
if you take the air cleaner off and look into the carb you should have about a 1mm open at idle
