Indexing issue on 650
Quote from Reloader on February 5, 2013, 11:44 amAfter sitting up for a while, my 650 was not indexing at all. A quick check showed that the index ring was stuck and not returning to initial position on the up stroke. The index ring return spring was OK; the ring was just sticking. I tried putting a little oil on the ring and that ALMOST solved the problem, but it would still stick in one spot. So I took it apart and cleaned the everything. (It needed it with lots of gunk and powder in there. I've never had this apart since I bought the press 12-13 years ago.) Well, now when I put it back together, it doesn't work when I tighten down the platform mount bolts. How tight are these supposed to be? Can you send me some instructions on how to put this back together and adjust it properly?
Thanks,
Russ
