That sounds like a vacuum leak. Check to make sure you didn't knock a rubber line off somewhere. If not grab a can of starting fluid and spray any rubber lines, wher the carb meets the boot, boot to intake (or carb flange if yours doesn't have a boot), intake, and intake to head. If the engine changes revs then you found the leak. Simply disassemble and find out why (bad gasket/o-ring, loose bolt, ect...)
