Greetings,
I'm in the process of recapping and cleaning this beast and I'm having trouble with the string on the variable cap that runs the indicator needle. The string keeps running off the pulley. I think the problem is the grommets that hold the assembly in place. They are deteriorated to the point that the pulley is crooked and allowing the string to de-rail. Has anyone had similar problems with a 42-390. Did new grommets fix the problem? I'm also having problems finding the grommets I've looked around and didn't see anything.
Are they available pre-made?
Help locating these would sure be appreciated!!!
