Heya Jorge!
Mark is right, a quick, simple and cheap overhaul will most likely solve
these problems. I sent my crank to Eckhoffs Custom Machining in New London,
MN. and got new bearings, seals, and Orings put on it for $195. As to the
damn rope, at Lansing, IL. there is a nice litle old airport where there are
lots of mostly older pilots looking for passengers. They cant be the only
ones. Try hanging out at the airport to get some airtime.
