How are the spark plugs? Have you tried a known good set?
Unless the distributor has been removed, it's doubtful that it's out of time. Timing doesn't just go out of whack by itself.
I'm not picking on you, but when I was in the boat and outboard motor business back in the 1970's, at least half of the customers bringing an outboard in for not running right would say it acted like the timing was off. Most of the time, back then, it was spark plugs. I had one guy once with a Johnson outboard with a notched belt driven distributor where he'd reset the timing himself trying to get it to run. I reset the timing marks by the book and got out a new set of plugs. The whole time I was doing this, the guy was standing there telling me there was no way it would run with the timing set like that.
After I'd installed the new plugs, I hit the starter and it fired right up, as pretty as you could want it to. The guy still didn't seem convinced, although he paid me and left.
Back to your H, you said there was a hole in the exhaust manifold. What kind of hole and where? On an H, the intake and exhaust manifolds are together in one piece.
