Wild guess but maybe your fuel pressure is too high now due to walbro, or a faulty pressure regulator, or because of debris that got lodged at regulator or injector(s), or one even loose vacuum line(s). Does the idle get slow and ‘lumpy’ and/or do you see any black smoke from exhaust? You could install a fuel pressure gauge to verify.
