If the filter is your only mod, it should be fine. What is wrong with the idle exactly? Did you maybe move the idle adjustment screw when you had the tank off? More info please.

when i used my choke, it did like the opposite effect, and instead of going higher it went lower< and turned off, it never did that before.

Perfectly Normal on a cold engine!!

Sometimes when I turn my key to RUN it will crank.... and crank..... and crank..... and crank..... but NO Glory!!
Its the fault of the key-cylinder wiring.
I think that it is not making contact and the Ignition is not sparking. (my 1st guess)
or
maybe the fuel pump not pumping (my last guess)
GL!
