All that said, does your spark lever linkage work correctly ? Full retard the arm should be at one side of the window and full advance should be at the opposite.
I plan to take the cover off to see if anything is amiss. My (knowledgeable) buddy that helped with this project said it was lined up properly with the keyhole.

As to the spark lever linkage, it is full contact from retard position to full advance. I had to purchase a NuRex adapter and cut the linkage to expand all of the way since the new linkages are too short (even from Bratton’s!)
