With the air flap shut, rotate the spring adj. screw until the spring hook
just contacts the pin on the shaft. rotate another 3/4 turn and lock it down.
Open the flap with your finger several times and make sure it doesnt feel gritty.
You can fine tune it later.

FO FIDDY FO in a monte sounds like a lot of fun!

Start at 3/4 turns once the spring contacts the pin.  Lubricate the pin with grease.

Do NOT go much past one for turn or you will ruin the spring.......
