Default 1996 Sportster XLC 1200

Changed out throttle cables and had to remove carb to do so. Put everything back exactly and now it won't idle at all. Once the choke is all the way in it shuts down. Never happened until now and can't figure it out. Any help is appreciated.

If the carb is sealing well, then check your vacuum hoses. I replaced my vacuum hose that goes to a "T" from the carb then one end goes to the petcock and the other end goes to the VOES. The hose I used was just a little too big and leaked vacuum, but it was enough to where if I pushed the choke all the way in, the bike wouldn't idle.
