Bongo

I'll try that when I'm home. Would that explain my problem if it was the case?

Yea It's definitely in the correct way, although the slide doesn't seem to be seating the full way down. Is there any way to adjust the slide height?

Hi everyone, I'm currently restoring my old gilera after it being stored in the garage for about 4 years. I took the carb out and cleaned it but after putting it back in it wont start unless I put my hand over the air intake, and with doing so the bike just revs extremely high for a few seconds then dies. I have tried adjusting the idle screw and fuel screw but I havent had any luck but maybe I'm not doing it right. I should also say that the air box is removed. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
