A lot of people miss the correct position for the TT when reassembling the carb. It needs to be set on the top perch that has two hook like things that hold it up. Otherwise, there have been reports of a hard gas pedal and lack of secondaries.

Did you find the photos showing the right/wrong positioning?

yes i did find the photos thank you and i will have to try to work on them and i have also been reading a lot of post about the sec. not opening up and they have been quite helpful also they said that i will have to take the carb back off and look at the gasket underneeth and see if it is in the right pos. cause if not then that could cause it not to draw a vacuum for the solenoid and the sec. could fail to open up that way to.
