The Converted Donating Members 344 Member For: 13y 8m Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 28/09/12 01:01 PM Share Posted 28/09/12 01:01 PM (edited) Bionicxr6t05 is on the money. Screw the actuator arm in until it is half a hole short of slipping over the flapper arm then pull on the actuator (or use compressed air if available) to get it onto the arm.I'd also put my money on this causing the 'ticking' noise that you're describing. The flap is probably rattling around due to no pre load holding it shut.
