Ron's helped me lots of times so i'd really like to stumble on the answer here...So lets see- The motor starts spinning turning the gears Any broken teeth, shims, pieces of bushings or bearings stuck in the gears especially where hidden by larger gears above? Is there excessive wear in the bushings or gear axles? Next the sector gear starts pulling the piston and tappet plate back the spring starts to compress and twist How are the bearings on the piston or spring guide? Sector gear keeps turning and just before releasing the piston grinds to a stop Did it stop the piston or did the piston stop the sector gear hummm When the damn thing is jammed back, is there any side to side play on the piston in the cutout of the gearbox? NOTE do not use bare fingers to check for this!
