lol, just what i was thinking!

When you change a cam and bump up compression you completely change how your motor acts. Now, i know that on cars when you swap in a cam you have to screw around with the carb(s) and tweak all the little settings to get it to run just right. I don't know much about small motors but i would think that you would need different jets.
