Ive never seen a foot shift lever on a GY6 style engine.. If it has reverse its usually either on the rear end or the output side of the engine.. I didnt see on there and cant see the rear end in the pics.. the reverse is usually operated by a hand operated lever.. some use a cable and some use linkages..

Its a CVT (belt drive transmission).. sort of like a snowmobile has..no gears to hear.

For the running problem..find the fuel screw on the carb (on the bottom usually) and turn it out 1 turn.. see if it runs better..

so we can avoid a duplicate posting, read the STICKY in the chinese section about carbs.
