I've always been taught that adjusting the clock spring is for adjusting pickup. To adjust the timing, you should have adjusted the drag magnet, not the clockspring. I'd be interested to see how much your pickup moved now that you moved the clockspring. I know when you adjust one thing, it moves the other so you can often get away with tweaking one thing to fix both (or at least get away with staying with tolerance) as long as you go back and retest pickup/timing to re-verify the tweaks.
That's a really good point and I don't think I mention it in the video. Both adjustments affect both the pickup AND timing to some extent. I've found that a small adjustment to the clock spring has a more drastic effect on the time curve than the pickup in terms of the percentages we record during testing. That said, I certainly should have retested the pickup after making the adjustment. And I agree, I too am curious how much that tweaked the pickup. Thanks for your comment, now I need to make a follow up video 🙃
