A past member Tom Wesenberg always said “ set the timing and forget it “ unless you mess around with the distributor cam. The points follower can wear and change the timing, resetting the points will bring the timing back. Have you adjusted the idle speed and idle mixture yet? Only adjust the carburetor after your engine is fully warmed.
