Check that all other linkages in the elevator system are working at maximum
gearage,
i.e. the geometry of all other pushrods and horns are at right angles when
at the middle of their range. If too oblique, there will be loss of range.

we only managed to get 12 deg up and 3 deg down (total of 15 deg overall
deflection).
Any further adjustments would either provide an increase in the up direction
with a corresponding reduction in the down direction - maintaining the
15 degree overall deflection.
