Yes!!!! the upper hose clamp was loose so I put a third clamp on it and cleaned out the area around the gear shift and valve while I had it off. Your instructions described the condition exactly. Thanks again
Well waddyaknow.....I'm not getting senile then, lOl. Glad to hear you got it back together alright. For once I helped someone. If I had to pay a nickel for every bit of help I've gotten off of this internet I'd owe a pretty good chunk of change! Take care rf and happy harvesting
