While read your your reply I thought...cables too short?

 

I think we're long overdue for photos on this thread, eh ?

 

Looks like the weather is going to be cooperative today.

 

Seems most likely to me. There isn't a cloud in the sky now so I will get a chance to mess with it today.

 

All I got done yesterday is chaise parts

 

C'mon Mark...it's the THRILL of the chase that keeps it interesting!!

 

 

so ?


What's the word on the shoe adjuster misplacement ?

 

Going to work on it today if my wife doesn't redirect me.

 

OK and the fix. I used one of the old parts to experiment on. I replaced the new offending part with the old part. I did exactly the same thing so I marked it where the spring sat. A3/13 chainsaw file worked perfectly to make a small elongation that moved the adjuster downward.


Pic 1&2 the problem the adjuster is too high on the star wheel to move it.
Pic 3 the experiment.
Pic4 the fix.
Pic 5 the result. A working adjuster.winner winner chicken dinner.

 

Kudos to you, amichhio....

Nice detective work....

 

Thank you sir. I just hate to take things apart that I just put together so I try to eliminate that as much as possible. The key word is TRY

 

The only variable I can see (originally) is the location on the shoe of the curved cable guide. What make and model of shoes are you using?

 

Raybestos 314PG

 

And as Homer Simpson is fond of saying..."Trying is the first step to failure!"

Glad you didn't fail on this one though.
