I am aware that that 2500 RPM is the starting range I'm supposed to set, to tune the sync. The issue is that I am easily able to set the sync for that RPM. But when I then increase throttle up to 3500, 4500, 5500 RPM, the Twin Max goes off center and will swing wide to left or right, depending on which RPM I increase to.
The twinmax battery was fresh when I started, but I will buy another and try it again. I will remove the Tupperware and carefully inspect the boots to ensure the hardware is tight.
FYI, I am a licensed aircraft mechanic, so I do have a clue as to what I'm attempting to accomplish. This should be an easy task but it has me quite puzzled. Should I try it again with disconnecting the idle step motor connectors as some suggest or should I use the GS911 to lock the actuators and try it again?

I easily adjusted one throttle cable to create a zero condition on the twinmax at 2500 RPM but at 3500 RPM it would swing far to the right. At 4500 RPM it swings back to the to the left of center. Tried setting it it at 3500 and 4500 respectively but at other RPMs it would also swing left and right of center. I did not disconnect the stoppers nor did I lock the actuators with my GS911.
