What do you adjust when say your B's don't
engadge together. One will start to pull before the other.
Thanks

I think you need to put one of the pull rods in a different hole in the bellcrank.

Chuck,

Simple, but GOOD question. The answer is not so simple. It depends entirely on what make and model PSG you have. For the procedure can be quite different on different makes and models. Sadly, it is NOT possible to time the pulls exact on some.

Also, travel and ease of engagement are inversely proportional. The good part is, there is nothing IMO, that can make pedals and knee levers feel as good, as when all pulls on a given knee lever or pedal start and stop precisely at the same time.

Having said this, I agree with Erv on this.

Thanks Erv and Carl. The steel is a Zum U12.
I will try the bell cranks but is there any
other tweaking that can be done?
