Hi got my 66 SL's today, but after looking at it am confused....there are 4 air valve holes :shock:

Two under the left top cap, 1 under the right top cap and 1 on the right lower leg. Have looked through the manual and it says which each one is (postive, negative etc.) but can someone explain what they each do/adjust?

Which do I adjust first - what adjusts what?

Thanks!

    have you downloaded the manual yet?

    do that and then identify what the 4 valves are they you can see what is needed in each.

    first take the easy to identify .
