How far the secondaries are opening is then readily apparent. The second pic shows how the zip tie appears when you get back home after the secondaries have opened completely during your "test drive." Note: I took these photos with the zip tie tail "extra long" so it would show up better on the photos. You trim the end of the zip tie so it is as short as possible (like maybe an inch or so -- just enough to touch the idle screw).


How tight should the zip tie be and why wouldn't the secondary shaft spin in both open and close directions and not move the zip tie at all, Or move it when it opens and move it back when they close.
