Professor,
Earlier = advance
Later = retard
For example, injection at 20 degrees BTDC is more advanced (
and less retarded) than injection at 10 degrees BTDC. But both are advanced relative to TDC.
In reality, setting the timing does not
require that you actually know whether you are advancing or retarding the injection timing; you just need to move the pump to the position that yields the specified drip rate.
Now, after all the focus on the pump, are you certain the you had the crankshaft positioned properly?
