CHECK YOUR COIL OR YOUR DISTRIBUTERS A LITTLE OFF.. GOOD LUCK
Timing is off due to a worn chain, belt or adjustment

1974 aircooled engine DOES NOT have a timing chain or belt.
Driven by gears on the crank and camshaft.
Static timing is set and set with strobe after.
I have since sorted the problem from a diffrent forum.
