Turn them back to where they were.

DO NOT make changes to adjustments without testing and proving what is necessary, you WILL upset the delicate balance and can cause damage.

Now, with that out of the way, your motor does not start?

Search this site for 'Won't start' and follow the steps outlined to test and determine the cause of your problem. Remove and look at spark plugs, test for spark, etc.
