Well Rick i wont reread the thread but you said it was not your fault (DC's) is what Louie said on the phone, i just thought he may have mentioned what the reason was, i personally believe it could be lack of finances and fatigue couple with the hydro problem.
Funny Rick i read a couple of things in the mechanic repair section which made me wonder if there was just some adjustments needed, it seems thats correct , so i guess in the end it only needed a few minutes work to get it going again ,, bugger eh ?
