Did you adjust it at both ends the carbs & at the throttle barrel? There should be just a slight bit of free play.

After you get it attached at both ends, take up a bunch of the extra with the adjuster at the carbs. Lock that adjustment down and do the rest at the hand grip.

Pretty much the same for the choke. Do most of it at the carbs, then the rest at the knob or lever, whatever you have.
