Coda disc setup question

Dan I don't have Coda's... but a similar thing sometimes
happens to other brands with the "self adjust" feature.

I have Magura's... and what I do to correct this problem is
the following( assuming that the caliper was properly
centered to begin with):

1) observe which pad is closer to the rotor..
2) press the rotor against that pad and have someone pull
the brake lever. ( press with fingers on the rotor in two
places..i.e. both sides of the pad)

that seems to even out the gap between the pads and
the rotor.

I just finished installing a replacement Coda competition
disc caliper on the front of my Cannondale. The
installation was straight forward, and the system fill and
bleed went OK. After installing the brake pads and the
wheel, I turned the pad clearance adjuster on the master
cylinder to bring the pads into proper adjustment with the
rotor. and I noticed that the inside pad moved almost to
the rotor before the outside pad started to move. The brake
works OK, but I thought both pads were suposed to advance
and retract in unison.( That is the way the rear one
works,and I thought that was the point of a twin piston
design) The right pad remains almost against the rotor when
the brakes are released and the outside(left) pad seems to
be the only one moving. There is a small set screw on the
right side of the caliper, the purpose of which I know not.
Could it have something to do with this?

The piston is sticking, wedge a small flat-blade screwdriver
in between the rotor and caliper on the side that has the
bigger gap (careful not to get it between the pad and
rotor), then squeeze the brake lever a little.
