Timing is off ...
Both marks must FACE each other and cannot be off by even one tooth.
Yes, you just aline the divot on the Cam gear with the dash on the Crank gear. Very easy to do.

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.
the timing is non adjustable, if the key looks offset it is bent and needs replacing
open up the crank case then you will see 2 marks one on the camshaft and one on the crankshaft mach thoes two up then close the crankcase back up .
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.
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.
