IP Timing - Drip, Drip Particulars

Trying to assess my injection timing on the 240D. Got the drip tube connected (with the delivery valve removed as specified). Here is what I see for drips:

@35 degrees BTC: If I pump the hand pump, I get a good squirt of fluid out, and dripping at a rate of faster than 1 per second. If I let it drip for 10-15 drips, the drip rate starts to slow. If I wait for 30-40 seconds, I can get one drip per second.

@28 degrees BTC: Same as above, but after squirt comes out, drips are a little slower, about 1 drip per second, but they slow down again.

@25 degress BTC: No fuel comes out no matter how much I prime.

So it looks like my timing is between 25-28 degrees, which isn't too far off (should be 24 degrees).

So my questions are around the drips:
-If you look for drips of once per second, but the drips slow down, when should you time it? Right after it squirts out?
-Should fuel still squirt out if you are right at begin of delivery and prime the pump? I was always able to get a good squirt until 25 degrees.
-When I went just past the begin of delivery should I get no drips at all, even with pump primed, or should the drips just do to something less than 1 drip per second?

Help me with my drips.
