Get the timing correct and retard it about 2 degrees. If and when you can, lower the compression. I have tuned 60's Trumphs $ BSA's(BSA's were less of a problem). Original high compression and advance timing mixed with low octane may ping at take off, Kicker kick back and firing when ignition shut off!
If it doesn't suffer these symptoms with the 'modern' gas, you're in luck!
