No he had people to build it.

To use ninjas, you can either hire them from your home city with a card or buy them at a saloon that you can build during the game. Not all the time will your saloon give you the option of hiring ninjas. It will most likely give you a different selection of mercenaries each time.
check the throttle body for carbon build up probably fuel related
Your throttle could be sticking for one of two reasons; 1: your throttle cable coud be old an need repair.... (spray some WD40 in it see if that helps) 2:in side of your carb. there is either a throttle plate or a throttle piston.... inspect for particles of sand or build up of carbon... use the proper carb and choke cleaner for cleaning 3:your accelerator lever could also be damaged.
