Timing 
Adjustment 
(Spill 
Timing) 
If your engine's fuel injection timing is not property adjusted, the engine will not operate property and will be 
difficult 
to 
start. Have the injection pump delivery rate checked by a well-established fuel Injection shop. Ad-
just the injection timing as follows: 
NOTE: The fuel shut-off lever must be 
In 
the RUN posHion while making the adjustment or 
no 
fuel will flow from the fuel injection pump. 
Refer 
to 
the illustration below when servicing the fuel injection pump.  First remove the high-pressure fuel 
line from between the No.1 injector and the 
No.1 
fuel delivery valve holder. Remove the NO.1 fuel delivery 
valve holder and remove the delivery valve spring beneath the holder. Reinstall only the delivery valve holder 
and re-attach the high pressure fuel 
line 
to 
the delivery holder. Attach H so that the end that would connect 
to 
the fuel injector 
is 
pointing away from the engine.  Fuel will flow from this line during the timing check. 
Rotate the engine's crankshaft in 
Hs 
normal direction 
of 
rotation 
to 
posi-
tion piston No.1 at the beginning 
of 
its compression stroke 
Move the throttle lever 
to 
Hs 
full open 
position and operate the electric lift 
pump. 
Slowly rotate the crankshaft 
clockwise 
(as 
viewed 
from 
the 
front), catching the fuel from the No. 
1 fuel 
line,  until the Instant the fuel 
completely stops flowing (no drips). 
At this instant, the 
23
0 
BTDC timing 
mark 
on 
the 
crankshaft 
pulley 
should  be directly aligned 
wHh 
the 
timing indicator on the front of the 
gear case  (refer 
to 
the illustrations 
on pages 86 and 87).

If the specified injection timing 
(23
0 
BTDC) cannot 
be 
attained, adjust the timing 
by 
increasing or decreas-
ing the thickness 
of 
shim material under the injection pump's mounting flange to change the injection timing 
point.  Changing the shim thickness 
by 
0.004 inch 
(0.01 
mm) changes the injection timing 
by 
approximately 
one degree.  To advance the timing, decrease the shim thickness, as required.  To retard the timing, increase 
the shim thickness, as required.  Refer 
to 
your engine's Parts List for shim part numbers.
