I have a 35d that has slop in the pilot controls. The washer has a gap between it and the valves giving it about an inch slack either direction in your hand before it contacts. Adjustable?20201120_135428.jpgAre these adjustable?

Good day JD
You can adjust the plungers on some but not yours by the appearance but what often happens is that the knuckle joint wears lose that is especially the case to the entry side of the cabin - coat pockets catch the lever and strain the joint.
Kind regards

That worked perfect i did exactly as stated. Took nearly all the play out and I intentionally left about a business card worth of clearance. Much better controls. Thanks again.
