Nothing to do with the 12V conversion should be DIRECTLY responsible for this, but if you had the carb off and it was jostled around something could've gone awry in the accelerator pump department. Did the new exhaust system come with the preheat flanges drilled? Hardly any aftermarket exhausts have more than a rudimentary provision for the intake manifold preheat - they won't provide anywhere near the flow that a stock muffler does. Drill 'em out as big as you can without hitting daylight and you'll at least have a little convection flow.
