no I don't think the cam timing would do it...not 2 degrees.....

where did you get a gear set that retard it 2 degrees. and why?

check the choke and you might have to move the accel pump to another hole, try the hole at the end of the pump arm, it has three.

Thats not causing it to run rich. It has something to do with the carb tuning, and the edelcarters are a bitch to tune.
