Default Too much timing means…

That the timing is too advanced is that correct?
In almost every, or probably every, other context one wouldn’t quantify the word ‘timing’.
I just want to clear things up for those of us who don’t use the jargon so much.
Thanks.

Too much timing or too far advanced means the spark plug is firing (too soon) before the piston reaches Top Dead Center.

Correct 1340 Evo "timing" is 35 degrees Before Top Dead Center when engine is over 2000 rpms or above.
