Adjusting manifold switchover butterfly gap...

In the above pic you can see what appears to be a piece of paper sitting in
a completely closed butterfly. It's actually a single piece of 20# copy
paper folded over 4 times which creates a VERY "close-to" .015" thickness.
What you want is a piece of paper that can be moved with butterflies closed
while being pressed firmly against the "stop" provision (circled in red) but
not without slight friction to move it up/down or sideways when in this
position. Always best to start at the closest butterfly to the actuator
linkage as the butterfly shaft will twist/deflect easier the further away
you are from this point. Once done, remove paper and test for
full-open/full-closed binding in ALL other butterfly plates above and below
shafts for binding. If binding occurs then use the same piece of paper in
the offending butterfly bore. If binding still persists then adjust the stop
provision by tapping lightly up or down to adjust the tightest fitting
butterfly plate you found in the above instructions and then set the gap
using the above method in "that" bore.
Butterfly stop adjusting pin is circled in red.
