thanks will try would the idle screw have anything to do with it

right all is put back correctly left to stand over crimo tried last night to start again started for 2 secs and cut out have noticed that the air screw on carb is all the way in ???

yes there is a air filter but not had the rubber boot joint on so back of carb is open it has a new plug and cap with the new plug this is when it revved twice and died

yes there is a good spark it started and revved twice and then cut out could it have anything to do with the electrics as I have only put in together temporary

it fires for about 2 secs on choke as if it wants to start with no choke, throttle needs to be open about a quart still about 2 secs yes there is a lot of fuel in the exhaust

year of bike is 1982 fuel is new so is plug and cap not had it running for about 18 months engine been out carb off frame powder coated I am thinking it might be reeds had a look at them and there is gaps in them kicked over with carb off/plug out and can see fuel coming back from the reeds this is my first project and not really used a forum before hoping to start a collection of dt's thanks for reply
