So, it didn't do this until you did your carb work?

Sounds like the float valve ain't valving because of a piece of dirt or faulty assembly.
Maybe it's even in backwards.
Either way, take it back apart - at least the carb on a YZ-125N1 is a breeze to get at compared to some other bikes.

Got the manual that the bike came with?

the float valve was wedged into the female piece, loosened it up and the bike started right up. good call! :thumbup
