Since the sprockets look to be in excellent condition, the chain may not be worn ?
Can you just pack the magneto up a bit higher on its platform ?
Or is the platform adjustable even, with slotted holes on one side ??

No, you can't just centre pop the gears as you need to synchronise the position of the piston on the firing stroke with the position of the mag points.
Simple enough if you have a manual. FW Neill is a good one.

Every search I make on Google is ended with -noai.
It seems to work as I don't get input from AI

Usually you'd just reset the timing to suit. ?
Banging the gear onto its taper, and ensure it doesn't shift while doing so, etc.

If the gear shifts on its taper, maybe it needs to be ground in, to get a better grip ?

A pre 36 maggdyno will have a ring cam ,and quite often these rings are very worn,altering the timing adversely..........you cant regrind the ring ,as its case hardened ,and once the hardening is worn thru ,very soft steel.

Isn't the internet brilliant?

Yes and no ?
Yes in your case.

I was searching for something electrically technical recently. And was 'amused' to see some words (which I had penned)
spat back at me and in complete denial of what I had wrote. Ain't AI wunnerful ??
Its like having a logical argument with a 2 year old, on steroids !

With no way to correct it ?

I'm about to fit relays to my, new to me, twin headlamped XTZ660 as I bought it converted to twin lights but it's not happy. I've tried to find my wiring diagram but after 18 years I don't seem to have it. I googled motorcycle headlights relay and this was the first thing that came up. Isn't the internet brilliant?
