I'd try setting the initial timing at 10 or 12 BTDC. If you have a worn timing chain and distributor drive gear or out of place timing marks, that may get it closer to correct. If it kicks against the starter when warm, back off just a little. I've had very good results using Marvel Mystery Oil in older engines with gummy lifters. A good 10W30 detergent oil is beneficial, also.


Good thoughts, thank you! I added Marvel last night, so hopefully that gets things freed up. I'll try playing with the timing a bit more and see what happens, might be a reason it was sitting at 15 BTDC before, although that seems excessive, but it may run better closer to 10. It's not "terrible" right now, but some more playing and I should be able to make it better.
