Hi Jeremy,

Opps !!!

just get it welded back together , after you free up the threads, for that try some PB Blaster, works better than WD40 imo.

No more squeel!!!!! She is run

No more squeel!!!!! She is running great, and as powerful as ever. Lots of fun, I wish there was a track close by.

The bolt that is stuck in the adjustment was twisted many times before it broke. I am thinking that it was why the previous owner never fixed the PB.

That said, I don't think welding it back on is a good idea. It could snap again anywhere along the bolt. I have some ideas in my head, but I will run them by you before I proceed.
