You need to jump the service connector while doing it. You need to set it to 16 degrees btdc

if your mechanical timing is correct, there should be no reason you can't adjust correctly. are you using the timing light correctly? i am assuming you are using a digital one since you said 14 degrees. are you using the lone white mark?

It's kind of a long shot, but is your mechanical timing correct?
