Hey Guys , i've been having this problem where my engine was giving trouble to turn over ,kinda like a hydro lock .I retarded the ignition timing on the EMU to -9 (1000rpm and before) where the map trace is on idle and all berfore idle and now she starts fine Why If i zero the ignition timing through out the whole map i goes back to having trouble in turning over:homer:

Have you checked the initial timing is set correctly at the distributor?
