Cool 150cc Carter Talon info?

We just got a 150cc Carter Talon. (for our 10 yr old son! haha)
Supposedly it sat for a year or two because the starter went out. (looks brand new!) We fixed that, replaced the accelorator cable, battery, electric choke...
So much fun in the snow on Christmas day, spent a full day riding several kids New Years eve, and then (small) rock climbing & mud riding for hours another day.
It runs great, in whatever gear its in, when the lever is pushed forward- but it doesnt go that fast.
We were told that it has 3 forward gears & reverse, that we should be changing the gears, etc.. but it seems to only have one gear & be automatic, with reverse.
It pulls better in reverse than forward- could it be stuck in a higher gear? Anyone here have a 2005 Talon?
Also the parts Ive ordered so far havent matched up exactly to the original Carter parts for it. Any suggestions on parts that will replace theirs?
We love this buggy! Any input would be SO appreciated.
