The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Timing issues, Bosch magneto/ laurel cylinder head

If the timing is set to fire just after TDC No 1 cylinder, I would be looking for vacuum leaks or fuel not getting to carburetor. Or possibility that the valves are not closing all the way, or the points are dirty.
This type of magneto is revolving core and is controlled by lever on steering wheel, re advance/retard and uses a flex coupling to drive it.
