Does the throttle on this bike operate in the traditional manner (twist down, go fast), or is it the reverse? Thanks!

the throttle side and distributor side may be mixed as one pulls and other pushes the cable

counterclockwise on the right hand is correct and clockwise in the left hand is correct

 

Yes it should be in the "traditional manner" but you have no return spring. So you have to twist it back to stop.
