New Build Startup Issue

I'm far from an expert but I find that's generally caused by too high of an idle or timing too far advanced.

I shut it off at 2300rpms, so I assumed it was caused by that. I didn’t want it to idle yet.
Thanks!

One more question: I’ve got the drivers side rockers off tonight and was inspecting the pushrods and found one that has a scrape all around the diameter. No marks along the length of the rod. It does not even wear thru the markings on the pushrod. I’m assuming that it has already clearances itself in the alum pushrod hole.
Any thoughts beside run it again?
Thanks again!
