    Default starts then dies

    Hey everyone, I'm new to riding motor bikes and with repairing.
    as of yesterday I would start pedaling and my engine would turn on for a few seconds then it would die out. It would not rev when I move the throttle. a few days ago i had a minor gas leak where the carb meets the engine. (it was too spaced out i suppose, so i re-adjusted it.)
    I looked on some threads here on the site. I took apart my carb and found that it was flooded with gas.
    as of now i have a good amount of gas in my tank my carb isnt flooded or leaking.
    any idea or advice?
    thanks.
