Thanks ausf, I do appreciate your comments. I'm ready to repair myself, solder gun is ready, but I just need an idea on where to start. That's like for the life of me I can't figure out why I can get smoke when I take the oil box lid off but it won't go to the tubes. Has to be that plunger that won't stay in place. Not sure where to begin on the recoil, but this stuff shouldn't be breaking down with less than an hours run time on a new unit.
regards,
Joel
