Whether the timing is jumping around or not it seems obvious that you
need to advance the timing to near the spec. Don't worry about the diff
between 600 and 800 rpm. The main need is to get the spark timing near
where it needs to be.
It sounds like there's too much slop in the dizzy advance mechanism
presuming the engine RPM is steady at idle. Call Moss.
