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 ?

Thank you for your kind advice my BSA is now running better than it ever has. Advancing the magneto timing a little has ensured that it’s now in the sweet spot.
