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.

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 ??

Simple enough if you have a manual. FW Neill is a good one.

also is this chain in need of replacement ?
I notice there are no timing marks on crank / magneto do I just centre punch each sprocket and mark chain cover casing
