Good lad for having a go anyway, and it's bloody good that you don't feel daft asking the questions. Everybody does everything for the first time some time, the idiot is the one who's too proud to ask - like me :D

You can learn a lot from watching people, but I reckon you can learn a fair bit from sh*tting yourself as bits fall out everywhere <_< Been there many a time - even at work.

Trust me, the carb will go back on. Be patient and keep trying, you don't need to force it. If the jubilee clip is causing problems, leave it off until you get the carb on, then gently open the clip completely and prise it just wide enough to go over the rubber, then do it back up.

Everyone thinks the carb will never go on again when they do this job for the first time but it gets easier the more times you do it. Have a break then go back to it when you feel more relaxed.

I once saw a rider ( i wont mention his name lol) who lost his temper with the bike gave the bike a kick, and hey presto the carb came clean off. no tools or swet ( I dont think he used the opportunity to clean the jets though! ) :D
