I am having trouble with my B pedal pull from G# to A on strings 3 and 6. String 3 pulls nice and even from G# to A after a little slack but string 6 doesn't engage until the pedal is almost completely down. I've tried moving it to another hole in the bell crank; changing the angle of the bell crank but when I get done tuning up it's still the same. I would like to get them both synchronized so they pull together. Any ideas? I have an S-12 MSA classic.I don't have this problem with other double string pulls.

If you are using a plain sixth string, you may need to incorporate a slave bellcrank on a spare cross-shaft, to gear down the pull.

Carters use a slave bellcrank, perhaps someone has some photos ?

Use a little longer rod on third and add some more travel to it this will help time them out. It will also let you use the hole it pulls the easiest in.If you have a spacer between your nylon and changer you could grind the spacer down a tad . Not much but a little at a time to syc the 3 and 6.
