Your balancer might have slipped. That can be really hard to spot. Check the rubber and see if its moved. Sometimes balancers have marks that should line up but you can see theyve moved a little. Or you can just try moving you timing around till you get it to run how you want.
On the other hand it might not even be timing related. Some more info on how its running and why you think its timing would be helpfull.
