Just how does one "wind it up" and how far does one wind it? Once the
top is off is there some obvious adjuster screw or other gizmo? I had the
thing off a couple of months back but I dont recall any provision for
adjusting the tension on that "clock" spring.

Subject: Tighten-up your AFM

Let me tell ya,

After almost a year of putting up with hesitation, rough running, and
the like I finally took off the AFM cover and wound up the spring, and
presto-chango, I have smoth running again. It's like magic.

If you are experiencing any of the above syptoms, please, take off that
cover and tighten-up that spring.

I don't remember who advised the list a while back to tighten-up, but if
your ever in Orlando, Florida I'll buy ya a beer, probably two.

Thanks
