I merged your threads. It's just easier keeping all your questions relating to your kart in one thread

Some more details would be helpful.
What kind of engine is it?
Can you post some other angles of both areas as well as some pictures not so close?

Wow! Talk about ask and you will receive. Perfect pictures. It looks like the area you'll be working with is just under the carburetor.
Check out this discussion on Tecumseh throttle linkage and also the links in that discussion:

First picture ——. You have a linkage between the carb and engine block for the cable (I can see it)
Second picture —— try taking the pin out pulling the rod off and just tightening the tension by twisting the piece on the threaded rod. And check your brake pads while your there to be safe. You can also ditch the spring and make it solid and it will stop better also.

Look between the carb linkage and the block. I can see part of the linkage in your first picture. Top of carburetor there is a little short rod going to the linkage behind the carb. Follow it and the cable attachment should be in the end of it.
If I'm not mistaking that's a Tecumseh Powersport..
DO NOT connect the throttle to the butterfly if the governor is still installed,
instead connect it to the levers that go to the governor
there should be plate beneath the carb and a lever on the flywheel side..
take a pic of those and we'll tell you where to connect (since I don't find the manual atm)
[EDIT]
Oh found a 'spring' pic..
see the clamp on the right upper corner of that pic with the brass screw?
that's where the cable sleeve rests
And you also see that footshaped lever (above the 'Tang' label in the pic, with the drilled toe)
that's the part that needs to be actuated.
easiest is to slide in a barrel shape cable end (needs to be large to lock in properly)
into the large hole right next to it (it's the same piece)
[EDIT II]
Like shown here (it's a blurry pic but you get the idea):

For the brake:
most common cause for sup-par braking power with a single piston caliper like yours is
- apart from a worn down puck - the caliper bracket
Or rather the caliper not allowed to move freely inside the bracket to align with the brake disk.
since that literally cuts stopping power in half
(only one puck rubbing against the brakedisk instead of both)

G'me sumthin to write on
Do all this. Then take the carb apart and clean it thoroughly. Ride for 20 minutes.

That diagram is the second picture posted in the thread I linked. You really should read it to better know what to do.
Here's the link again:

Lol. You got me! That's pretty bad I missed that.
It is best to read and use the comments before posting in a thread, but I ended up doing the exact same thing Joe-405 did.

Look at this picture. The yellow line represents your cable. The red is the cable sheath. The white circle shows where you need a clamp for the cable. The second picture is the type of clamp you need.
