Yeah, it's been a couple years since I did timing on a p-pump. I had good instructions, and easily followed them with good results. Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree. But I wanted to verify my timing is what I think it is to eliminate it as a possibility for the cause of how noisy the engine is. It doesn't sound like something's broken, it just sounds like too much timing. I was warned, though, that trying to fool with too many different things isn't gonna be a good idea, since the cam is degreed and so forth. I guess I'm in over my head, but I gotta learn somehow, I guess. Or start growing a money tree and find someone willing to make money to get it right...
