Hello. I have a 1983 Mercedes 300sd Turbo that I am doing the drip method on. The pictorials online show a bad picture of the number one cylinder lobes pointing up. I have my timing set at 24 bdtc. In both positions (180) the manual pump is pumped and I am getting HEAVY flow. Is this because I am advanced? Or am I retarded for not being able to do the drip method. Why would it be pouring out? I have the drip tube facing the motor. The timing at 24. The throttle at full. And, the shut off vacuum pulled. Thanks in advanced, Kev

Because that is what happens prior to start of injection. If you have not moved the IP yet and you want to determine your current start-of-injection, rotate the crankshaft slowly until you get the drip, then read the angle on the balancing disc.

Then reset to 24 BTDC and rotate the IP to get the drip.

There is a difference between 'start of injection' and 'start of delivery'.

And "start of delivery" is what I should have said. Evidently, I am experiencing "start of dementia." That was my second mistake this year.
