Honda 5.5 ignition timing?

My 5.5 hoda lawnmower engine appears to be too far advanced and kicks back on recoil rope when starting. How can I retard the ignition or set engine timing, Any ideas please.

or the blade is loose or missing.

Usually this is a symptom of a sheared flywheel key - caused by hitting a solid object with the blade.

Remove the flywheel to check.
