It’s frozen because the”bushing” has swelled up. These 2 videos should give you a better understanding of how the timer works and some of there issued. I’m having poof problems so I’ll try posting them this way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLS6IglCy9k

Well Scott you can drive it out. If the lifter is in the notch, take something like a tooth and hold it back. The bushing has also become brittle. Look for cracks. The shaft may come out and the bushing may stay complete, apiece make break off, or it may crumble (first video). If it remains in one piece you can open it up where its tight and it may survive without any issues. People do make replacements.

Based on the photo of your timer, the bushing is brass or bronze, not the alloy that usually swells up and cracks. I think a little penetrating oil and gentle persuasion from the bottom might loosen it up.

Looked like brass to me as well but its a 28 Speedster and they were pot metal – but someone could have replaced it with a brass one and its out of alignment.

First of all, give the timer a good cleaning. Carb cleaner, break cleaner, silicone spray, gasoline if you don’t have anything else (using some good judgment). Then holding the lifter out of the way, insert the notched shaft from the bottom. If it stops at the timer bushing, the timer bushing it out of alignment. You will need to remove it (timer bushing) and get it position correctly. If it is not out of alignment, all it needs is a good cleaning, and oiling.
