Since bigsky has the sprocket you have to spin on the side of the tree and the adjustment is under the brain you have to be a quite flexable and cordinated to effectively time these things. I've been faking it when it has a print running but I don't like doing it that way. Any suggestions? I rarely get help so I'm attempting to do this by myself keep in mind.
