Re: [DML] Centering the air meter plate

[Jeff Phillips <rvparty@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just keep the plate unbound by contact with the sidewalls.  Aslong as
it can move freely without any friction you will be fine.  Where it
site with the engine off won't matter because once its running the
airflow will pull the plate to the propper position.  Mine does not
hit the rubber "stop", I'm not sure what its really there for.
