76 Honda CR125 timing mark

Hey all, I really need some help here. Can someone take a look at the below photo and tell me if this is the correct timing alignment marks for the rotor & stator at top dead center for 76 CR125 Elsinore? The Clymers manual is not really helpful so I thought I would ask. I Installed a Mototek CD125 and the bike ran pretty good, but I felt it was not pulling beyond the stock limiter as it should so I advance the timing per the Mototek instructions (1/4" to the right) and now the bike only want's run when the choke is on? I have moved the stator back and forth and the bike just seems to be running lean yet the blue smoke tells me it rich. I shot some WD40 all over the motor to ensure I don't have any leaks, I just don't understand why it won't run without the choke while it appears to be rich? I set the timing back to the photo below and it still wants to bog out without the choke? Help!
