Thats a good point jhv48, the return spring, even a strong one, can be some what slow to react. Some slaves bleed off the hydraulic fluid through the line back to the master faster than others. The spring needs to be strong enough to:
1. Eventually bottom out the slave plunger.
2. Overcome the slave internal spring pressure.

You WILL likely have to push/pull whatever with your hand to get the slave piston bottomed out for the initial adjustment. Or, just keep cranking on the adjustment rod until you KNOW you have bottomed that plunger out. It may well surprise you how far out of adjustment your rod is, you may have to turn the adjustment nut/bolt a LOT to catch up.
