I may have some I'll have to look and they are telling you to put more press on the spring

one way puts press on the spring the other takes press off the spring thats how the starwheel works

But smoke makes power... Take some fuel out of it down low you should have a little less trouble getting it light timing wouldnt hurt tho.

looking at a cut away pic of an afc it looks like moving the wheel toward the cab would decrease the pressure on the spring.

you can your prob not gonna see much difference. I don't like grinding the foot because it fuels way to much down low, I did this on my first foot I had and never liked it. Ground the barrel on the 2nd and have liked it ever since.
