G'day Folks,

I'm playing about with spare parts - trying to get my head around CIS

The part fitted to my M102 has the same problem as the spare part I've bought to play with =>

The air sensor plate doesn't touch the resilient stop - the plate is being prevented from moving by the internal stop.

This seems strange as it makes the resilient stop totally redundant - so why is it there?

Here's a screen shot of the FSM





Pictures on the interweb seem to show the air sensor plate up against the stop. For example =>



(From this thread http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/tech-help/322327-odd-static-duty-cycle-readings-help-please.html)

Questions

1) Do these stop bars come in different sizes? (I can't see any mention of this on the free EPC listings)

2) Is this bar meant to be bent into position? (This seems daft as the adjustment is made by repositioning the internal stop)

3) Should I be worried about this?
