I don't know what a fuel injected carb is or how and why you would blow air into the cylinders. You didn't say what bike you have. Blowing compressed air into the lines can plug things up if there's some crud that got loosened up with whatever was put in there.
So if it is a carb you could have blocked up a jet. Could also have a clogged the fuel filter or petcock screen. Inspect those parts.
I would also flush out the tank completely.
Give us some more info and it will be easier to help you.
