    Hi,
    I can help you some & if you have a better way. . First pull the flywheel & plugs Turn over the motor till the points just open & stop. Push in a screwdriver to find the piston closest to the top. That matches the points that are opened. Turn the motor over till the same points open as large as possable. Set that set at .18 & turn over the motor over a half a turn to the points are open as high as they will go. The next piston should be very close to the top & set it at .18. Try starting the motor.     P.S. Clean the points too.
