How much torque on a bolt assembly screw? While trying to diagnose erratic performance, I found my assembly screw to be loose. I snugged it down tight but is there a specific value(Inch -pounds). I hope this explains some of the erratic targets I have been getting. Thanks in advance.
tight enough it don't come loose is how i do mine. Do you have the old slotted or the allen headed one? I had a bugger of a time with the slotted one keeping it tight.
socket head/hex - 1/4"
Don't have a torque value but hand tight with standard short allen wrench. hand tight is how tight i can get it without a cheater of any type so it will vary day to day and person to person.Quote:

Again this was from new so I kinda figured it was a combination of hitting the right torque and breaking in a new bolt?
