5th string raises on A pedal; C pedal

sorry for the lame question but, what note is the C pedal suppposed to raise the B5 to?
Is it C#, as I can;t seem to get mine to do that...I can get the sharp on the A pedal, but the C is kinda stuck somewhere around D give or take...I have a Sierra Crown any info will help.
Again,. sorry for the lame-o question..

The "C" pedal raises the 5th string to a C# just like your "A" pedal does. It appears that string 5 for the C pedal is too sharp. If that's the case, back off the tuning nut for the 5th string C pedal.
I tune my A&B pedals first then I tune my C pedal with the B pedal down. You should get the same tuning whether A&B or C&B for strings 5&6. AFter you have the 5th string C pedal in tune, then tune your 4th string C pedal with the 5 string.

thanks Larry,
my C pedal raises E4th to F#
and is supposed to raise the B5 to C# when actually it is 25cents below pitch for a D note, I am raising two strings as it is set up now.....I have no clue...thanks..Mike

Michael,
Assuming all the rods and string gauges etc are correct then all you have to do is to tune the note with the endplate tuners at the right-hand side of the steel (as you're sitting at it).
