Jason or Gary, do you guys think it was running rich? It didn't smell that rich to me. Too much fuel will wash the oil off of the cylinder walls and make starting difficult.

Gary set the carb up and I don't remember a rich issue when he did it.

It wasn't running terribly rich. Not anywhere near what it would take to cause dragging like you've seen. And you said you are still running the 1406 so it should be lean if off at all.
