Timing is fixed and determined by flywheel. The only way for timing to be off is if the flywheel key has sheared. As the magnets on the flywheel pass the armature (coil), a spark is sent, end of story.

You don't. Timing is fixed from the factory and is not adjustable. The only way for timing to be off is if the crankshaft is bent, or flywheel key is broken.
