A new carburetor was installed. This could be a lean mixture and no speed.
Timing, plugged exhaust and retarded timing are the things that i would check.

It is possible if the float was set so low that it wasn't letting enough gas in the bowl, It would backfire and get hotter. I don't believe that closeing the GAV woulh have such a dramatic and sudden effect. He checked the ignition. Here is what I think happened. He got the timing pin in place with the spark retarded, he then losened the cam screw and rotated the points cam counter clockwise untill the points just started to open and then tightened the cam screw, leaving clockwise backlash in the shaft. This is what usually happens. Trying to set the timing by the points is a very bad way to set the timing.
