can I make the adjustment ???

James - in my conversations with Neville Eyre, he said that the 
clearance between spinner and cowl should be the thickness of 2 or 3 
mixing sticks (about 3mm to 5mm). I have also heard from Andy Draper 
that the ideal clearance is 3mm.

I sounds as though your setup is fine already - I wonder why Airmaster 
would suggest a larger clearance than that recommended by the factory 
experts.
