I am not a rocket scientist here but I would assume the problem is that your motor has to work a lot harder to suck in the air where as before it didn't have to work that hard.  I am no good with jetting so I couldn't tell you if changing the jets would help.

well,i guess it was actually getting too much air,the tubing i used was about 1/4 in bigger opening at the end than the stock stuff was.reduced it down to the same size and it runs great!!!
