OK....that makes sense.
So full up means the spark happens further past TDC than it would have been if timed with spark lever all the way up. I think Shinn meant to be clear about that, but it wasn't so clear to me, from his video.
Everyone else who times #1 at TDC with spark lever all the way up, therefore runs the risk of a kick-back while hand starting with the crank handle. Might not make any difference, or very little difference when starting (and driving) using the electric starter motor.
