You can just use a set of calipers too....

Another good idea.
It doesn't matter really what you do to get more "gap" (advancement) as long as you do. File the hole, weld up the end of the pushrod, hell, even put a dab of JB Weld on the point end of the rod will make it longer. It will all work, and much, much cheaper than tearing down the engine.
Put the Kohler points in see what you get.
With 10 years of automotive and machine experience, this really shouldn't be that complicated.
