JB+ dial question

deletedelete · 09-01-2009, 09:32 AM

The jb+ dial goes from 1 to 9 or something like that. I got it on 9 but the dial moves a little past that into the empty space on the bottom third of the dial. If I moved it past 100% and into that empty space is that still 100% or will that make it zero? So basically I moved the dial all the way full until it stops, but that doesnt line up with the last number.

I just have no idea how those dial things work and hate to be running around on 0 while thinking im at 100%. Thanks

How far past the last marking is the arrow pointing?

No way am gonna take that thing out til my service day, lol.

But its just a few mm's. The dial definately stops turning but it stops past the last number. I need to know if the dial or numbering is off. Any other jb+ users running at 100% go past the last number?

Mine went a little bit past the last notch and I was running @ 100%. So you should be fine. And I beleive you would be able to feel the difference between the 100% setting and the lowest setting on a JB+.

A variable resistor, which it is in this case, is always on its max or min value at the dead end. In this case 100% is fully clockwise, where the movement stops. If it then is just before, right on or ahead of the final mark doesn't make any difference.

I figured id try some wot and see if the dsc turns on. Stock it wont, jb+ it will. I had it only like 90% up until this morning when I changed it to 100%. I assume when I go for a ride later id be able to tell if it wasnt working.

"quality control" or rather none.
