The stoiciometric ratio is the ratio where the amount of air to the amount of fuel is correct. So, simply, a good AFR for an 800hp turbo whatever is going to be the same for a roughly 100hp Honda, or a 5hp lawn mower.

Adjusting timing to get won't really change anything. All you're doing there is changing when the volume of air is going to be entering and leaving the cylinder. It isn't going to solve the problem of getting too much fuel.

Rejet the carb first, then fine tune with timing. And, all this is assuming that the carb is the right size for the engine in the first place.
Sorry man, thats not how AFRs work. a good turbo WOT could be 12:1 or 11:1 sometimes, where a non turbo car will be much leaner. i think the OP needs to find out what a good naturally aspirated AFR for idle and WOT is.
