I will try advancing the timing some more as you suggest.
How old is the rotor in your Tekin? If you've over heated it a few times it will be down on bottom end but great on the top end. I fresh new rotor might solve your issue. If the rotor is fairly new then you havent found the sweet spot between motor and gearing. I'll See what the guys here are gearing their SC's and get back to you.
