Thanks Deejay....While I'm not sure what the cork lining should look like, I tend to agree that it does have a glazed and hard compressed look. That might explain why the cone was protruding so much disengaged and why the fork was overadjusted towards the engine.

I think for under $10 it is probably worth replacing anyway. Is it easy to get the old one off and a new one on? I guess it's glued on right? I'll try to get one early next week.
