If there is too much fuel for the air, it has a cooling affect, which reduces the heat of compression, which reduces efficiency, which means even less fuel is burned (kind of a down-ward spiral) so you get even more smoke and overall less power.
I need to do both of the same adjustments (ALDA and max RPM on the governor) on my '87 wagon with 3.5 liter pump.
