Default Cv help!!!

Please help!!!

I removed my CV to do some pre-fit, unrelated stuff. Now, after I re-installed the carb, my bike won't run! What the hell?!?! I didn't make any changes or adjustments to my carb: Just remove, then re-install! What did I do??

My bike starts, but won't idle and it seems to be running very rich. I don't know, just a guess...

HEEEEELLLLLPPPPPPP!!!!!!

Thanks Kirby!

I took off the carb and intake and noticed that I didn't have the CV properly seated in the intake's gasket. I reinstalled everything and POOF! Could this cause a vacuum leak this bad?

Anyway, all is now good.

I need to go ride...
