FYI
I have an OS 46 AXi on my Nexstar. When it was just getting broken in, mine did the exact same thing yours is doing. I read somewhere on here in a previous post to do the pinch test, just like da Rock is telling you. Just be patient, take your time, and you will get it. I did have to go buy a set (I can't buy one of anything!) of small screwdrivers from my LHS to make the adjustments, but my engine has been running perfect (knock on wood) ever since, and I'll bet yours will too. Keep asking questions, these guys are great at helping others.
