Happy to know you found your problem ! and yes we do have bad luck ,, im still takin mine in cuz i dont know a whole lot about fixin em' on my own,, But my cousin took a look at it in june and the first thing he did was check the oil and he said "theres no metal clippings in it" , then he said " so i guess you didnt strip your gears",,,, so hope your gears are'nt stripped ,, ill check back with ya later ,,
