I seem to have an issue with the vboost. Last year when I got the max ('88 full power) I noticed the cable of the vboost had a bit of slack. Didn't pay much attention til this year's check-up. We had to use washers between the cable housing and the servo motor to take up the slack. The result is it's now possible to pull the black plastic box that holds both vboost cables all the way up to its top position with both vboost flaps perfectly horizontal when fully open.
Problem is when the servo loosens the cable during the startup check. Flaps are not closed fully in that position - I can feel the gaps between housing and flaps with my finger when they should supposedly be closed.
So this brings me to my question, to which I couldn't for the life of me find an answer neither here, nor in the vmax service manual.
On a stock setup: should the vboost flaps be perfectly vertical when closed and perfectly horizontal when open?
I admit never to have taken apart and in detail peek a look inside the vboost tubes to see if there are any flap position markers, but I believe through sheer logic that this should be the setup for the system to work at all...
As it is now, if you try to reverse the cable as it was, the closed position feels more like this -> / (approx.flap angle) and the open position is probable 15-20 degrees shy of horizontal....
Anyone investigated the flap positions on a stock setup :ummm:
