Re: will this hurt the timing

Since you don't know why your throttle plates are not opening all the way, you should rig the throttle, carbs and timing sync from scratch. The process is spelled out pretty well even in the Seloc book.

Your trottle cable may be misrigged or your throttle/timing bar may be misrigged. Since you don't know what is happening, it is best to start from scratch.
