Sorry I hit the send button on accident

I changed the oil seal and hydro fan and went fire it up and it would not pop off. Cleaned the carb out and now runs but it runs a little rich and dies after 5-10 seconds. Can anybody tell me what's wrong I know it's in the carb but I don't know what it is.

I checked the needle valve and sure enough it was not connected to the float, reconnected it but i ran out of time to put the carb on.
Thank you

Dose any body think this is ok or not i think it will work for now but i'm going to call the dealer tomorrow and get another one. Is that pipe coming up stock or not? I just need another opinion on this it looks like the hose broke and they just put that pipe in place of that section of hose.

To me it looks like the breather tube and if that is the casein should not be a problem.

Im asking if the pipe is a standard part, that the clear hose is connected to on the bottom of the picture. I put the clear hose on there just for now, im just wondering if i would be ok to leave it rigged up like that or not.
