Default AFC ADJUSTMENT

hey does anyone know about an adjustment on the front of the afc housing? if you lossen up the bolt the shaft can be rotated a little bit. i noticed by rotating it, it slightly turned the afc arm which has a little bit of a beval?

It does nothing as far as I know. The shaft runs though there and that's what the barrel of the AFC foot rides on.

It controls the height of the AFC lever.

So it can move the foot up or down according to the rack adjustment?

According to the gov arm height ... when I went plateless I moved the gov arm up and moved this adjustment so the gov arm rides the afc till full rack
