Changing out the carb may have fixed the poor engine performance but did it fix reason the carburetor didn't work well? Doubtful. Time will tell. At a minimum catch some fuel in a clear glass jar and hold it to the light to see if there is any crud in it.

BTW: You need to service the advance before you fiddle with the timing. Especially if you haven't serviced the advance in the last year or 50 engine hours. Twisting the rotor to see if the springs snap it back is not good test because the weights need to be free to move with as little friction as possible for the advance to work properly.
