I’ve been working on a 86 TRX200SX, and I’ve replaced the carb. On both the original carb, and my replacement, with the cable hooked up, the slide doesn’t go all the way closed, it leaves a pretty good sized gap and doesn’t look right.

On both the new and the old, the slide does close all the way with the cable unhooked.

I’m suspicious that the previous owner has an incorrect cable installed, I’ve adjusted it all the way out at the thumb throttle also.

I should add, the slide isn’t 180 off either, it closes even less 180 degrees from where it is here.
