Good point Ronald. I did do some adjustment on the timing when I first started it up this spring. But you may be correct because I noticed that moving the spark lever up and down did not make much difference in how it ran. So will have to try that. I am not a good timer so will have to play around with it to try to get it better.

The other thing maybe I should do is change out the distributor. The one I have in there is a long shaft one. I think I have a short shaft one in the shop that I can swap out.

If I ever get this problem solved, I will let you all know what worked.
