never can a straight answer from anyone ,, when you adjusthe hi or low speed , are you supposed to hold the other knob from turning , if i turn one the other turns with it , been like that since new 

The inside will turn with the outside, but not vice versa.

so if i just turn the outside the inner will not move,, inner turned both move

You'll need to hold the inner know by hand when adjusting the outer knob.  If both turn you the adjusted both settings

When I turn the inner only that one turns.  I assumed that by turning the outter, that was the only one changing, because the inner adjustment stayed at the same number of clicks from full soft or firm.  I often turn the outter knob while riding depending on trail conditions and it makes a noticeable difference.

Dug through some stuff and didn't find what I was looking so for.

I've always adjusted them as being 2 separate adjustments.  Basically hold one in position while adjusting the other.  Started by turning the outside(high speed) knob all the way in until it stops, then the the inside Low speed all the way in until it stops.  Hold the inside stationary and turn the outside knob out X-number of clicks, then hold the outside knob and turn the low speed knob out  X-number of click.  Haven't been able to find a "This is how its done" from Polaris of Walker Evans but that's the way I've always done it.

The low speed is a needle that adjust flow like a needle jet on a carb.  The high speed changes pre-load on the shim stack inside the Hi-Lo adjuster assemble.

 

 

 

thanks fir the W E 101 great help

Staying on topic, one of my adjusters locked up last year. Actually looks like something might have hit it. Just the adjuster knobs and its components are $450??? There has to be a cheaper solution. I left a message with Wenzlaff in hopes he may have some parts left over - anyone with experience replacing these?

I can't offer any real world experience, but you did what I would do by contacting Andy first.

Andy is half that $225 installed - my best option. I guess I finally get to meet him in a couple weeks.

Andy moved from Stevens Point to just out side of Amherst

He also has a web site now https://wenzlaffperformance.com/?fbclid=IwY2xjawKkLVBleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETFWa3FjcGFMWENSeDBTM1JuAR6_w1wvVyddU8rix58mYiuA3ncC5C9ike0any2yDSXmnnm0VNhqj13PgpCrkA_aem_a5dH536sc9EyIj0AerlwgA

Yeah, he’s about 15 minutes from me now vs. 5 - LOL

I just called him, he knew exactly what I was looking for.
