I always thought that with a 6.0 head you should not go above 21 degrees. Is this not correct.

Even with a dialback you need to put a stop on the quadrant. I have timed mine for 2 degrees at startup and stopped it at 21 degrees. If I timed mine to be at O at startup I still need to move the stopper on the quadrant somewhere to be at 21 degrees.

If Brendan times it for the lever to be all the way down, then where in the heck would his startup degrees be?
