Default K301 Timing

I have a 124 with a Bosh coil and point saver. The points slipped and stayed open all the time so I had to re-time it. The previous owner put a nice white timing mark on the flywheel so I used that and gapped the points at 0.02. It runs and idles really smooth now but hits really hard at least once every time I try and start it. It hits so hard the starter will stop rotating. Is the timing too advanced and do I need to gap it at 0.018 to correct it? Thanks
