Search for GY6 CVT on YouTube and you'll have hours of resources that will not only show you how it works, but also how to add cheap performance upgrades.

Indeed; if the GIO 150 is idling at normal speeds, then the issue could be a sticking clutch assembly. The clutch pads could be binding, rusted or stuck springs could do this, or there could be some contaminant on the inside friction surface of the clutch bell.
I don't have a tach on my "Dragon 150" atv, gy6 engine, but I'm guessing on my own atv the clutch engagement, stock, is about 1000rpm. On mine I'd like to move that up to 1500rpm, leave stock clutch pad springs in there... go to 10g rollers in the variator.
But now we're talking about cvt tuning for performance, not fixing a problem with early engagement, which is what the OP is having happen.
