Welcome to the forum and the Darkside. First suggestion is to go back over your work, you disturbed something while changing out the water pump. Also, if you still have the cats, they will soon plug up without the air pump supplying fresh air to the main cat.

In my sig line is a link to online FSMs, carb manual, etc.. Download whatever you need and start reading to familiarize yourself with your new toy.
