I am trying to time my engine after my recent trip home (2200 miles) - car is pinging/knocking after installation of new, Monark injectors.

I am using the drip tube and I can't quite figure out the procedure when pumping the primer pump. With my car at 24 degrees BTDC, cam lobes up on cylinder 1 - I pump the pump and fuel flows pretty freely - stop pumping - and then fuel flow eventually slows down to one drop per second, but then stops all together. Should I be getting only drops WHILE pumping (not a steady stream), with car at 24 BTDC? Do I continuously pump the primer?

Does the following procedure also apply to OM617 engines?
