Just because it won't start doesn't mean its out of time. The spark fires on the compression and the exhaust stroke... Kinda hard to get it out of time actually.

Did you check the valve clearance? Do you have spark?

If the intake valve is too tight, it will not start cold.

There are marks on the cam that must be level with the surface of the head when the piston is TDC. That's all there is to the timing. As long as the piston is at TDC and those marks are parallel with the head, you can't go wrong.

If all that is good, then I guess you forgot to plug up a wire or something. Maybe your kill switch is off. Gotta be something simple.
