- Yes and no. Depends upon what your ignition is set at. If it is set ATDC, then yes, if BTDC, no. Basically when looking from the 'ignition' side of the engine, the crankshaft pulley rotates towards y

- To advance is to cause the spark to occur earlier in the engine's cycle, i.e. more before TDC or less after. So if the current timing is 0 (TDC), to advance you move it before TDC. 7 before TDC (BTDC
