Doing this adjustment at the handle was the next logical step. I just needed to do some research on how to access it (removing the cup holder) and having the time to do it.

Wow, your cable must have been really loose if you needed that many turns with the drum already adjusted. If you hadn't done it yourself, I would have assumed whoever did the adjustment loosened the cable to adjust the drum and then didn't retighten the cable. Good info and pics on the adjustment
