Almost certainly not a timing issue ! Might well have been some other
shortcoming in the ignition system, but slightly advanced timing will only make
the engine knock (under some circumstances) reducing power, while slow timing
only produces slightly less than maximum power.

It not a whole lot easier at 20 mph or so, where the book says to set it. In
either case, you make a trial run, adjust the timing the indicated direction,
then make another trial run.

Probably easier would be to leave the clamp bolt loose, and rig a lever to turn
the dizzy directly. Kind of like the arrangement used on the Ford Model T ...
