I think you are doing about right. You could advance the lever, BUT ONLY ON LIGHT THROTTLE CRUISING. This might give you slightly better gas mileage, may not be worth the effort? A Model B or FS ignition is a good option but check them so they don't give too much advance. I ran a B dist on a Sun machine years ago and it had way too much afvance. 26 or 28 degrees is probably the max you should use.
