Remove #1 spark plug (front) and hand crank the engine until that cylinder comes up to TDC on compression. Align the timing mark on the front pulley with the pointer. Remove the mag and rotate it to the #1 tower. The drive dogs should line up with the slot in the magneto drive gear. Install the mag and time it. There are videos and descriptions in the how-to section.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
