Anyway, it felt great to crank it up again! I should be able to go test in a week or so. Thanks again guys for the ideas! It made me feel better to get some feedback from some other racers. When in doubt, fix it yourself! 8)
Dude thats the screwist thing i have ever heard...but i am relieved in a funny kind of way that you got it fixed...
