[DML] Re: Centering the air meter plate

["Matt Spittle" <supermatty@xxxxxxx>]

Nope, that's why I disassembled it.  I didn't powdercoat either the 
swinging "arm" or the plate.  Just the outer non-moving stuff.  

The adjustment I was looking for was the "rest position," so thanks 
for describing how to do that.  It appears my air flow meter plate 
was never calibrated correctly to begin with.
