Latest update.

After a private consult in beautiful Sebastian FL with Dr Haynes yesterday, I have discovered my little nylon balls are shot. There were some minor adjustments made by the good Doctor so that I could actually engage first and second gears - always useful when moving off from a standing start.

Thank you for ALL your suggestions. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and left some room for turkey sandwiches.

Keep smiling Peter Marsh Naples
