[Mgs] Unsteady timing

[Charles & Peggy Robinson]

Whether the timing is jumping around or not it seems obvious that you 
need to advance the timing to near the spec.  Don't worry about the diff 
between 600 and 800 rpm.  The main need is to get the spark timing near 
where it needs to be.

   It sounds like there's too much slop in the dizzy advance mechanism 
presuming the engine RPM is steady at idle.  Call Moss.
