Timing the engine on an allen scythe

Thu, 07/11/2013
The engine on my allen scythe has recently been rebuilt but we are struggling to start it. Can anyone help with setting up the timing please?
The machine number is 103056m and the Villiers serial no is 454A mk 15 18011
I have two operator
I have two operator instruction books for Mk15s. One says Type 460A and gives 1/8" before Top Dead Centre and the other makes no mention of a type number and says 3/16" BTDC! However they both agree on the contact breaker gap!
Here's a link to both.
