Working in spurts here on this project. I reset the piston ball, it did not seem that bad to me, but I have no reference as to how bad is bad? How can you measure these things? Anyway I assembled the motor and fired it back up. I got a nice 17.2K with the set up above. I got a good adjustment on the needle and pretty happy with it, and from what I get above I seem to be doing well with those numbers on the bench. Now on to the other portion of this project.
