Purchased Zane"s kit and found my cam following pin worn in half. The pin tapped out with a few punches but inserting the new pin is a pain in the rear.

I also note that I can not move my control lever more than two inches from this picture. The spring compresses within an inch. Is this normal?

Thanks in advance.

"I also note that I can not move my control lever more than two inches from this picture. The spring compresses within an inch. Is this normal? "

Please elaborate. IF you mean the control arm from top cover to pump valves/rocker, then that sounds about right for total travel.

Zane mentions on page 11 of his instructions -- "I usually grind off a small amount of the pin all the way round for about 2/3 of the length of the pin to allow it to be started in the hole more easily. Don't grind it anywhere it will fit into the link when completely driven down."

That's what I did and it went in without much problem.

I want to make sure I have the nomenclature correct. It's the control handle (one you grab with with your hand and has the ball on the end)
This handle does not move more than an inch or so. I believe that I should be able to move this control handle vertical.

The link above this has the pictures (Not too good at inserting pictures)

Thanks..

do you mean this handle? If so, it should move the entire length of the quadrant slot...about 90 degrees.

When adjusting the "position" mode the lift arms are all the way down and the touch control handle is all the way down. With the assmbly sitting on it's back with the lift arms down the spring should do just like you describle. If you move the lift arms towards the up position then the touch control handle will be able to be raised also till the arms are all the way up and the touch control handle is all the way up. That's the way it is supposed to act with the arms all the way down.
