Pretty sure it’s not the adjustment as I’ve lined it up with the hole on the far side (and a little either side). Won’t engage when operated by hand either.</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Jul 17, 2021, at 3:35 PM, Kinderlehrer <kinderlehrer@comcast.net> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 12 (filtered medium)"><style><!--
