You have the proverbial vacuum leak. What did you do with that old hose to the reservoir?

Try starting the engine, disconnect the vacuum canister and put your finger over the hose. First thing is the engine should speed up and then you should feel suction on your finger, If not, use the same procedure and go back to the engine. Then if still happening, disconnect stuff and keep repeating until you find the leak.
