      Could you please put it in simple language? Not able to understand when you say 'kept on going'; where?

The revving problem is there in somewhat high rpms only. Is it ok if I keep riding in low rpms or should I ride in high rpms too?
        There is no restriction on RPMs ...What kind of reving problems at high RPM ?You had mentioned that the bike did not return to idle RPM when you release the throttle ...

          Since the entire carb and air filter will have vacum suction inside, you have to try following method....
          Park the bike in center stand and start the bike...Apply soap or normal water throughout the hose..Rev the engine for 20 or 30 seconds, and stop...Now wipe the hose dry on the outside, and remove it..Inspect the inside of the hose for trace of water...
          Second method is to close one end of hose with thick cloth,dip the hose till it's neck in water and blow through the open end..if you see air bubbles...you have found your air leak..This is done Just like the Tube puncture guy checks the tube for puncture.

            Yes only when the bike is revvd a bit it does not come back to idle rpm. In low rpms it is not much noticeable. Anyways I have added the 2T oil. Will add for a few more liters of fuel and post the results.

              LOL! My bad! I pressed the self starter and it was engaging by itself even when I removed the key from the slot. I'm at my wit's end
              What do I intend to do? Stuff ZMR drivetrain into an Ambition chassis and watch others run scared!

                I think, it's time you change the ignition set.

                  There are two possibilities.
                  1. your self start button is not breaking contact when you release it...I mean the electrical circuit not the physical one..Try spraying WD40 or Zorrick in to the button area and see.
                  2. The starter relay center pole is magnetized and is not releasing the relay operation on release of starter button...remedy ..Change the starter relay.
                  since you say that even after switching off the Ignition key the starter relay continues to work ...it is most likely the Second point...Needs change of Starter Relay.

                                It is part no 10 in the pic. The relay sits to the left of the battery in ZMA till 2010, and to the right of battery after 2010.
