Running rich causing cold starting problems? 200 1980

Hello everyone. I was wondering if my car is running rich, if that could cause cold starting problems. Because before i took it to my local Volvo dealer I took it to this import mechanic and I just remember he said that he made it run rich so it would crank over easier until I put the new warm up regulator on it. Well i put a new warm up regulator on it and i for got that the fuel is running rich. I now think that might be causing my starting problems. And when it does start, i need to feather the gas pedal or else she will stall.
Thank you all,
