I did not remove the carb but did remove the 2- screws on the top shot carb cleaner & blew out with compressed air . It starts when you shoot gas into the carb for a second thats it . need advice please .

You need to totally disassemble carb and clean all parts and blow out all passages. There is a fuel filter screen inside of the fuel inlet, clean or replace.
assemble carb. set idle mixture screw to 5/8 turn out. set Hi speed "T" handle screw to 1 turn out initially. Adjust from there for best performance and smooth running.

The dellortos are pretty easy to clean. RK is right, the intake filter/screen does get clogged. at minimum that needs cleaned. also remove the float bowl. a lot of times there's a pile of junk in the bottom of that. also remove the jets while the bowl is off and clean those. that should pretty much do it.
