OK, not quite sure I understand all you are saying….

The mag plate may not advance fully if the economizer linkage is preloaded, the vertical arm can not push that horizontal throttle rod past the wide open position.  So, if the engine was run like this, you wouldn’t achieve full advance ignition timing resulting in a loss of power.

So, you are saying that once the economizer linkage is adjusted properly, the mag plate won’t reach its raised boss/stop on the block.  Are you pushing the throttle arm manually or using the remote control?
