Dave, can you add the 2012 Mikes to the fail list?….please?…😉

Well, ____, I have a no. 11282 Gt. N. Light Mike, cataloged 2011 vol 2, so the 2012 production. Bought it after that time, and as of now it's still on the shelf displayed and never run, but getting ready to be run. I plan to run it a lot. Pat, do you think this fix would be reasonably do-able for a novice, or would it be better to let you or a skilled repairman do it? I assume the latter. I'd certainly want it done right.
