Backing up can mean bad band or out of adjustment.
Relecting obama is like shooting right foot because it did not hurt enough when you shot left foot

Dan, Where do I hook up my gauge by the servo? I was told I could torque the low band to "x" inch pounds and then back off "x" amount, can you fill me on the numbers?  We want to work on this tomorrow, any help will be greatly accepted.

I'm not Dan, but most guys like to torque them to 72 In #s, the back it off 3 1/2 turns.

Most servo covers have an 1/8" pipe tap plug in the cover, gauge goes there.
