It was not the vacuum or fuel lines. It was something like the pilot jet? Not sure - it is definitely a screwed in piece. If it gets loose again - I'll use some loc-tite. Thanks.

Common problem - fuel or vacuum inlet?  Or the idle shutoff valve/jet?
  If it's the idle shutoff, I always just screw them in bare and
they're generally fine tightened snug.   A bit of blue loctite won't
hurt anything.
