I must'a spent, all totaled, 3-4 hours on this dwell shitthing (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) Started out at 25 then got it to 40 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) up'd it a wee bit & hit 50 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) got it down to 47 & thought, "that's cool" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) I'll see how the timing does...

Sheese (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) now I can't get it to adjust to the 27 BTDC it's supposed to be.... I can't win.
