Thanks grumpy for the advice. yep, that did the trick, one more notch should get it perfect although the motor is now off the chassis for a oil change, steam clean and general maintenance. I will more than likely keep going and restore the whole thing now. Trying to take some pics so I can remember how to put it all back together. I'm really not mechanical or never had the chance to learn how motors work and what part works what. I feel the HD8 is simple enough to learn on but don't be surprised if I ask questions along the way if that's ok. The good wife will post all the manuals and other things I've come across tomorrow.
