Just wondering what plug your running, my PB runs pretty well but not as even as yours even with a new coil etc! Is the timing absolutley critical on these or is there a bit of a margin for error?
I ended up with one of these lovely machines. 1941 with a RS1 mag, later scilencer, and the hard plastic petrol cap. all mounted on one 4 wheel trolley with a Argosy water pump. I have to say, A Ruston Hornsby is like a Rolls Royce to me.
Is the magneto behind the accessory pulley on the left-hand side?

Hi, I don't know how I do it!.....It's a bit of luck I guess with the aid of good ignition timing and a new spark plug! See ya...Rich
