One thing I have not read here is did you measure your old cable slack and adjust inside the powermad box as it explaines in the instructions and did you fill it with grease? It sounds like it's to tight.

Do you still have the circlip on the end of the cable, closest to the lever? If so remove it. Your idling fine when the cable is not seated in the lever, this is the tension you need to be at. Wow i feel for ya this should be a simple install.
Well good luck, this seems like it would be best delt with hands on. I hope ya getter done soon. If you could post some pics it may help us help you but im sure youll getter figured out.
could i try adjusting my carbs? would that work by making them close more?
No. You need to let the cable slack out more. What hole is the lever in on the CR throttle block? You need more slack in the cable. if you have it zip tied somewhere, undo the zip ties. Give it as much slack as possible. If the revs are going up when you turn the bars then it is too tight.
