That cam is nowhere too big for your setup.You need to start at the beginning with the carb.The power valve has no effect at idle.Check the float levels,power valve for a leak (this WILL affect idle),power valve gasket-not only for tears but position on the power valve.Before fine tuning be sure to set the timimg.I know I'll get flamed for this but a power valve in the 8.5 to 10.5 range will give excellent results with a properly tuned carb.

I had problems with mine that we thought were carb related but could not find the timing mark with a light as you mentioned. Made all kinds of changes to the carb and no help. I was advised if there was no timing mark there was an ignition problem. Replaced distributor and wa la timing mark
appears and the engine runs great. As said fix the ignition first!
