Use a timing light.

Why not bump the timing up a few degrees and get a better running 300 ??

timing

if you don't have a light you can do it by ear...

Stock timing is 10* BTDC, my 300 seems to run best with no valve clatter at 12-13* BTDC max.

make sure you unplug the SPOUT connector before you change the timing so that you get the accurate base timing.
