<DIV><SPAN class=083190401-01102003><FONT color=#000080>No one can =
know for sure
what is causing this without looking, but here are a
few thoughts:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=083190401-01102003><FONT
color=#000080></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=083190401-01102003><FONT color=#000080>- Backcheck =
height
(already discussed)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=083190401-01102003><FONT color=#000080>- Backcheck =
angle too
far back (too steep of an angle)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=083190401-01102003><FONT color=#000080>- Too much =
aftertouch
for some reason - jack is binding on the rep lever window when key is =
held
down</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=083190401-01102003><FONT color=#000080>- Action =
spread is wrong
(which could be caused by parts not fitting on rails the same as =
old ones,
etc.) causing too little jack clearance between the knuckle and the stop =
felt in
the rep lever window.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=083190401-01102003><FONT
color=#000080></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=083190401-01102003><FONT color=#000080>I agree with =
others that
the backcheck angle / tail shape still seem to be the most likely
culprits.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<BR>I'll go ahead and suggest that he was gently telling you that on =
