[AT] Tecumseh too far advanced

Hello;

I have a Sears tractor with a 12hp Tecumseh engine. 

When I go to start it the spark is so far advanced that you can hear the
starter stop when ignition happens. Sounds like "wuh wuh wuh urh urh whu
whu whu urh".   Sometimes it starts, sometimes it doesn't....

Is there a way to retard the spark? Would it require an offset flywheel
key?
