Sounds a bit obvious maybe but have you checked the throttle cables not snagging anywhere if you've had the bike apart. Have you done anything to the carb as on a couple of occasions i've not got the slide seated in the carb properly.

Hows your gearbox oil level, smokey and not wanting to start would point me towards crank seal but someone who knows more about the dt engine than I do will hopefully have an opinion on that.
