I have one of these models. The magneto chain is adjustable by moving the magneto platform which is designed for that purpose. The sprockets are not keyed, they just have a tapered fit and if you use a puller to get them off the taper you will have to re time the ignition.

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 ?
