101% Sure the timing is correct ? Or is it running lean ?

Hi Dave,
 
 I agreed with A10f .... is it running lean? Check it and my opinion is to charge plug BP8ES.Maybe is the weather the problem.

G'day Dave.
The std plug for it is a B6ES so is not protracted. Explain how they look or post a picture of them.
A colder plug B7 or B8 might help. Also the Boyer needs 12 volts or more. I know they say it will run down to 8 volts but I've found any less than 12 it starts to advance the timing.
Cheers
