Could there have been leak at rubber manifold in between carb and head? And in process of shoving air-box back on carb, you closed up that other leak as well?
Your point make sense, I don't know why this caused a non-start problem but prior to this it was re-starting just fine. I had checked the head/carb boot clamps and they were already on there fully tight. I'll shoot some carb cleaner around them to see if it alters the idle and post back. I remember doing this a while back ago and found no issues.
