On my Emmons LeGrande III, I lower the E's (4 & 8 ) with my RKR lever. The 4th string lower is not quite making it all the way to the Eb -- what's the best way to give myself a bit more pull (it's very close)?

Thanks for your help! Boo

Boo, first thing you should check to make sure the split screw is not in too far. Back it out a little bit. It is in the back of the changer.

Thanks, Jerry. I don't split that string so I don't think that screw is engaged at all. I'm wondering if there is an easy way to get just a bit more pull.

Thanks again!

Easiest thing is to loosen the lever stop a little so it travels a bit further.
Other option is to loosen the tuner and reposition the rod onto a higher bellcrank position. This will make the pedal a little stiffer, but allow you to pull more flat.
