Check the back issues of OGR. There is an excellent article on how to fix this engine and the DLW. The problem is the parts it was manufactured with. If I recall the motor guide bushings are incorrect. The article is several pages with color pictures, mfg parts needed, and procedure. I would start with that. I have an 18001 mint and was going to dump it just based on its bad reputation, till i came across the article. I found some of the parts at last York. I just haven't had time to work on it. Supposed to be great after the bushings are changed.
