All of this happened in the last 4 days so we just left it on for now

Here's a link to a few more images -

Take two cylinders of the same stroke that equal the stroke you currently have and mount them opposite each other, you now have a 3 position cylinder. If they are two diffrent strokes that equal the orginal stroke you have 4 positions. We switched our motor driven intake/shooter to a system like this and its is magic.

PM me if you want more info/pictures
