I had a simular problem. Recheck your wires to the plugs. I crossed two of mine and pulled my hair for months, changing the timing, heat range on plugs only to have a friend point out that i crossed two. I was humbled by my mistake.

Well, I think I got it fixed.  I appreciate everyones advice.  Let me tell you what all I did.  I started by re-gapping the plugs to 45 thousands, but when I removed them, I found that they were bleached white, too hot of a plug.  So, I put the old ones back in, gapped at 45 thousands and have 10 degrees of initial timing and 35 degrees of total timing.  I put in a blue and light silver spring, should have total advance around 2800-3000 rpm.  Not only does she run good, but she runs cooler.  I had already checked the voltage on my ignition lead and have a full 12 v both before and after starting.  Thanks again for all the help,
