Default 85 civic 1500 no idle

ok well i just changed the head gasket on my car and got everything back together and all the vacuum hoses exactly the way they were...

the car started up fine sounded a bit rough and once it was warmed up enough to drop the idle down it dies. it will not idle below 2000 rpms... where do I need to check?

I did not remove the carb from the intake manifold when I removed the head, and left as many vacuum hoses connected as possible when it all came out.

nevermind... it was a big vacuum hose I missed under a lot of little ones... however I didn't find it until the car was running and I had my face right by it. stupid setup...
