timeing is controled by a key way under the flywheel, if its off te keyway is bent, there is also timing marks on the crankshaft and cam gears. these need to be lined up on top dead center. be careful as not to set them 180 degrees off or the engine will backfire.
You can not set the timing. It is determined by the keyway between the flywheel and the crankshaft. It only goes in one place. You can adjust the coil, the valves and the carburetor.
The timing is not adjustable. The only way the engine can be out of time is if the keyway between the crankshaft and the flywheel is sheared. If it is in place and in good shape the engine will be in time.
Both marks must FACE each other and cannot be off by even one tooth.
To set the timing on a Briggs & Stratton 19.5 hp lawn tractor engine, first ensure the engine is off and cool. Remove the crankcase cover and locate the timing marks on the flywheel and the engine block. Align the timing marks to the specified position, typically at TDC (top dead center) for the compression stroke. Finally, reassemble any removed parts and check the timing by starting the engine and listening for smooth operation.
Timing on all Briggs & Stratton small engines is set at the factory and non-adjustable. It is determined by the placement of the armature (coil) and position of flywheel on crankshaft. Unless the crankshaft is bent or the flywheel key is sheared (both are possible after an impact or sudden stoppage), timing is perfect. Rough running is likely an intake or mechanical problem. Backfiring is likely a carb problem

Yes, you just aline the divot on the Cam gear with the dash on the Crank gear. Very easy to do.
More than likely, there will be a dot on the gear on the crankshaft, and on the timing gear, and you just need to make sure that they line up.
To set the timing on a 12.5 hp Briggs & Stratton engine, first ensure the piston is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke. Remove the flywheel cover and locate the timing key or mark on the flywheel and the engine case. Align the timing mark on the flywheel with the timing mark on the engine, ensuring the key is not damaged. If necessary, adjust the position of the ignition coil to ensure the spark plug fires at the correct timing, typically just before TDC.
To set the timing on a Briggs and Stratton 20 horsepower motor, first ensure the engine is off and cool. Remove the spark plug and rotate the engine by hand until the piston is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke. Align the timing mark on the flywheel with the mark on the engine casing. If necessary, adjust the ignition coil position to ensure the spark occurs just before TDC, typically around 25 degrees before TDC, depending on the specific model.
