Uncontrolable revs

Hi just wondering if anyone can help I have a beta 125 2004 trials I went out today and revs stuck on full and I pulled kill switch no joy still didn’t cut out so had to put ht cap off checked carb and throttle in fine not stuck not nicks in cable slider hits bottom carb fine soon as I start it just revs up full any ideas thanks 

Ignition side crank seal is a possibility although I wouldn't expect the revs to go sky high instantly

Will check these things thanks 

First off that is not the stock carb. That vent line, does it have a hole in the middle? If not cut iy in half, its not venting. Take the carb apart and blow contact cleaner threw that hole to verify.

Happened to us when two events combined. That is, a faulty carb. float needle combined with the petrol tap being left on overnight. Fuel seeped into the crankcase causing immediate high revs when it started.

@Branny Beta OEM is usually a Mikuni carburettor. you cannot go wrong with blanking that hole on the VHST  carb you have fitted to your Beta  as it is only for use with bikes that have the exhaust mid box on the right hand side of the bike for example a GasGas.. just plug it with something . 

Only from experience, I would say it does sound like an air leak , which could be a crank seal or cracked inlet manifold (as  already mentioned)  or a gasket etc.

Although that carb may well not be original, if it's been running fine previously with that carb, then you don't necessarily need to change it for an original carb - just find out if it is a fault with the carb that can be repaired - like the missing blanking screw that has been suggested. 

If it is an air leak you are looking for, it  won't be massive, I once had a Yamaha that did the same , and the air leak was so tiny you wouldn't think it could have allowed enough air through to make it rev highly, but it did
