Tried again, same thing

to unstress the spring though, i used some needlenose plyers and pulled on the reversal latch. this unwound the system

im able to turn my bevel gear by turning its bushings, and found that the latch isnt even engaging with the groves on the bevel gear. i can feel the latch pass over, but when i turn in the opposite direction, it doesnt lock up, just clicks over the top of the grove and continues on.

Could all of this gear timing stuff be caused by the antireversal latch not working properly?

It seems to be working on and off. I can turn the bevel until the sector starts to pull the tappet plate back, then i turn a bit further and release the bevel, sometimes it catches the reversal latch, sometimes not.

is there anyway i can get its spring to tighten up a bit so it has the strength to engage with the bevel gear?

thanks
