sounds like the engine leaned out on you.

was the engine real hot afterwards.?

if so then it probably got to lean, the sleeve expanded and stalled the engine, this would also make it tough to turn over.

reset the needle to the factory setting (usually 2 1/2- 3 1/2 turns out from all the way in) and try it then.

I always gt my engine running rich first by backing out the needle till it sputters when I gas it then lean it out a touch at a time till it runs without hesitation but still has a nice with of smoke coming out of the truck.

and yes you should tune your engine every time you run it as the mixture needed varies with weather.
