This should bring you to zero, tighten the needle in its new position and open the adjusting nut two turns to begin. Has anyone else tried this method? I haven’t but it seems to make sense. </div><div><br></div><div>Bill B<br><br><div id="AppleMailSignature" dir="ltr">Sent from my IBM 8088</div><div dir="ltr"><br>On Sep 6, 2019, at 9:34 AM, G.D.
