Post some pics of the kart and engine so that we can see what you have. Also post the tyre height (diameter) as well as the axle sprocket and clutch tooth count. This will give us some idea on how your kart is geared.
You might find that the governor has been removed from the engine and that is why it sounds like it is revving high
