Pull the slides it is then. I'm riding Sunday (New Years tradition) so I might try to get it fixed tomorrow, otherwise it will be yet another project for later in the winter.

I can get parts for the Dell's here so maybe I'll just order 2 new slides and throw them in.

:thumbup:


Good stuff, Jon. And I strongly recommend that your last check is my 'Ducati cuddle' slide synchronization to within 4 thou of slide movement or better, if possible. Four thou movement of a slide probably equals at least 200 rpm.

Probably the cables will need very careful attention to ensure things are going to stay right once you get them right.
