The only way to fix the timing is to move the governor gear. You'll need to pull that out again and get the drive slot horizontal when your pulley set screw is pointing at the floor or at the ceiling.
It seems odd that there would be so much oil coming out from that small shaft that it would make a mess anywhere but the front of the engine.

Way to go Marv! There's nothing like hearing your engine run for the first time. Hope you can get the oil leak fixed. I never saw one leak like that. The WD45's even had an oil line dumping oil on top the gear and they didn't leak that much,

O.K., finally got some time to mess with the video of the engine running. I created a youtube account and up loaded it there. So lets try this- https://youtu.be/Kx8D3ydmMsgI will try and make a better video when I get some free time.

Sounds excellent- it's hitting very evenly on every cylinder.
Now, it could be the audio quality, could be sound level... and it could be that it's just still breaking in... but it sounds like it's laboring a bit. How much advance is it indicating now when running?

That video was shot like 10 seconds after the initial startup. I had the mag in centered in the slot. Since then I moved the mag all the way out and it does sound much better. I tried to retime it the way Tom said above, but didn't seem to make a difference. I still have to have it out all the way to run its best. But yes, you are correct. If you move the mag back, it does sound like it's laboring.

Using resistance plugs have an immeasurable effect on ignition timing. what they Do affect, is mag coil inter winding voltage. When resistance wire or plugs are in a mag circuit, the voltage which appears in the mag coil is substantially higher. it's very hard on the coil insulation.
the reason for resistance wires or plugs, is to suppress harmonics... dining between the plug gap and ignition coil of a battery-coil system. when a high tension coil arcs across a gap, the magnetic field of the coil collapses rapidly, and it tends to ring like striking a bell. this running causes incredible radio interference, which doesn't play well with radio receivers, computers, and other electronics.

Sorry to slip into your subject matter here but for some reason they won't let me start a new topic. I'm rebuilding the 125 cubic inch engine in my 1940 B tracker anybody got ideas as to the best and cheapest rebuild kit

It depends on what you need. I found a set of sleeves. pistons, rings and O rings at a real good price. After I bought a gasket set, main bearings, rod bearings and cam bearings, I had more money in it than if I had bought a complete kit. After I took the head to the machine shop, I found out I needed a complete valve set. Now I'm way over what I could have bought a kit for.

Marv,
Did you have a shop manual for the engine assembly? If so, which one? There’s a few out on the market. I have a 46’ W Speed Patrol getting ready for a rebuild this fall, the block is at the machine shop now. I’ve rebuilt a few engines over the years, but the brass shims were something new to me.
Thanks, Bill
