does anybody know how to adjust an old 5 speed suntour Derailleur, I have no problem changing up and down using 1st, 2nd and third, my problem is 4th and 5th.
I have aquired an old road bike which i am converting to a hybrid.

I assume it has limit screws that control(limit) derailer motion in either direction.also check for a bad cable or housing.

The limit screws don't seem to be a problem and I have installed new cable and housing. I am trying to locate the fine adjustment screw I think thats where my problem lies but I can't find it.
