Try advancing the initial timing. You might need more advance to bring the RPM’s up. Sounds like its headed the right direction when you advance the timing lever, you might just have to tweak the initial point setting increase the amount of overall advance.

I can try redoing the initial advance, but I need to figure out how
to keep the advance lever where I put it.
Not sure how one is suppose to put any tension / friction in the system.

Also, I think the prop on the newer Sportfour I have is less aggressive,
and I was just edumacating myself on how to measure pitch.
Thanks.
