You 'retarded' the advance from 12&deg to 8&deg, but the timing is not 'retarded', it is 'advanced'...8&deg advanced! More advance will give you more power. Too much advance will cause problems...the engine will let you know when it has too much advance...listen and watch it's body temperature! Stuart
