Trial and error won't reset the basic timing, merely cause more frustration and delay and could damage the oxygen sensor and CAT in addition. An engine with too much unburned fuel inside is likely to give up all efforts at starting and once you have set the timing you might need to do considerable cranking with the throttle wide open and the fuel pump disconnected before it does start. An experienced mechanic could probably figure out the timing close enough to run reasonably but for accuracy the repair manual will provide the proper procedure.
