Is normal or at least common that a new carb ( no matter if same kind or different kind than the one was before ) will need a different timming ?

no but I stll set timing by ear to what each engine wants no matter what any given book suggests for timing

Nacho-RT74

what is the reason timimg would it need to be different than book suggest ? I know maybe worn lobes for example, and stretched timing chain and sprockets...I'm using same stock camshaft, used but practically new, and chain/sprockets are new...

often the stock settings were more for emisions than performance & the engine will run better with more advance , also timing chain streach can alter the settings
