+1 on the timing.
The 55 shouldn't bite unless you really give it a limp wristed flip.
bafflerback, the Rcexl ignition used on the DLE does retard for starting but you have to flip the prop briskly to activate the retard. If flipped slowly, the ignition will fire with full advance (the static timing point).
