No you didn't. After you shut it off, did you try tostart it with the airbox off again?

10:1 odds it's flooded and the airbox just made it a tad bit harder to get enough air to combust. Pull the carbs and clean them. Change the plugs too. Then just let it sit for a few hours and try again.

Are you using oxygenated fuel? Even with stabilizer, that stuff goes bad pretty quickly.
