Hi All
In this thread:
http://www.hobby-machinist.com/threads/power-kraft-value.59943/
at post #3 it was noted that:
"Check out the back gear on that rascal.
The knob to the left of the label pulls in and out to shift back gear.
There is a retainer that holds it in place that does not always and it can slip out causing folks to shove in while running breaking off teeth."
I have the issue highlighted in red text - not under power, I engage the backgear lever and as soon as i let go it wants to drift out of gear - if i immediately start turning CC (by hand) it will stay engaged...but if i let tension go or go the other direction, it immediately slips out of gear
in the parts diagram attached, it looks like there is some sort of positive engagement...short of removing the assembly, how does one know if that is there and working? - is there some other trick for getting that lever to stay engaged?
thanks!
