Notoriously resistant to (for practical purposes, afraid of) change.Carburettor

Finally with enough courage I pulled out the carburettor of my bike myself. Took it in, opened it, vacuumed it, blew into it and put it back. Although there were some anxious moments, I got going (yeah, no adjectives, I am happy 'to be' riding it again). Those moments are like, as you mighta guessed, bike did not start after it I put it in. Also found a brass colored pice of screw/nozzle thingy on the floor after I put the carb back (my friend explained, to my relief, that it was a part of a fancy pair of earphones). As for the starting problem I shut the air completely and kicked, it /sucked/ fuel and started rolling. Though the whole business was quite educative, I did not get what I had looked for, the throttle still sputters plus I have the clamps on both sides of the air intake (to the carb) in reverse (not a problem, though the service guy is going to get a laugh (or atleast a smirk) from this sight).
