You need to get the idle down near 700 rpm.
Have you fixed the flooding carb yet?
Any tuning you do is meaningless until you do.

I took a step backwards attempting this I think. When I lowered the idle the carb seemed to start sucking air/hissing sound. If I gave it throttle it went away, or if I covered it with my hands it went away and RPM went up. Even when I tried to adjust idle back up it continued to do this some.
My vacuum gauge was still connected and when it made the hissing/sucking sound it bounced around 15. If I put my hands over the carb it settled back to 20 and the rpm went up. I suppose this may just be another sign that the carb is messed up?
At the lower rpm I did readjust the timing. It looks like my advance kicks in around 950 or so. So it was close. But I put it at 12 at around 700 rpm, so hopefully accurate now.
