I have an engine with similar problems and I think my timing is to slow.

I been working tonight on a 6 HP Fairbanks Morse Z. It had a problem
with
blowing head gaskets and we have machined the block face and the head.
The
head went back on tonight and that part of the restoration is OK. The
problem is that it runs but only barely. It seems to be a fuel problem.
It
will only run by choking by covering the intake with a hand. The mixer
gasket is sealing. The compensator appeared to have to weak a spring so
we
stiffened that with slight improvement. It does not fire regularly and
is
running far to rich and if the mixture is leaned off it will not run at
all.
Any help to sort this out will be appreciated.
