Joystick adjustment

[55catstan]

Has anyone adjusted the slack in their joystick controllers ? I have a 236B2 with 5100 hours, there is a lot of play in the controllers. Thanks.

That should be an easy one to do. If you pull the rubber boots up, you should see a nut that you can run down to where it makes contact again with the smaller valve tops. Then, snug it back down. That is a simple one.

I only see one 17 mm nut that Is as far down as it wil go, and there is still a lot of play.

Hmmm. If the nut is all the way down, then there is probably a lot of wear in the joy stick pivot area or it is time for rebuilding it.
