So the carb's were the only thing you touched ?? Did you disconnect anything to give you easier access ??
I generally take photos as I am working on outboards as a "just in case" reference. With a digital camera it is great as you can delete them afterwards and save any important ones.

1. Check the 20 amp inline fuse.

2. Disconnect controller harness at red plug, crank and see if spark returned, if so look at the black/yellow kill wire, could have disturbed it, look for chafed wire.
