I need HELP! lol

I just bought my first Clarinet this morning. The last time I played this instrument was 7 years ago when I took grade 9 music... Well, I thought it would be like riding a bike; you never forget, I was greatly mistaken.
The Clarinet is a Buesher BU-2, the fellow that helped my at the instrument shop gave me two 2.5 reeds. So after getting home and piecing it together I have found that I can only play the top three finger holes, once I use my right hand on the lower portion, I lose the note. What the heck am I doing wrong? Also, what I need it a diagram/description of how the mouthpiece/reed/ligature should be assembled so that it can be properly played.
I must add that I took to this instrument very well when I was 14, I had taken piano lessons for nearly 8 years. I guess I just need to get the ball rolling.

Thanks in advance.
