Everything else looked good so I reset the float and will be putting the carb back on today, if that doesn't fix the issue I will probably end up pulling the cam and reinstalling the stock one.
I am sure that a number of people here have different opinions able what may or may not be going on here. I don't know what the problem is. But JMO I think changing back the cam will not fix what is wrong.

Do you have a positive piston stop and a degree wheel? Is it possible that the timing mark on you dampener is not located correctly?
