You make a remark like "ccrobins says we should blindly follow the
manual...", and that's not a flame? Spare me.

If it doesn't disengage the way it's supposed to it has a problem.

Lawrie, I used to disengage my OD under "steady running" power most
times, because I was trying to not stress the thing. But after I got it
right, I didn't have to do it that way.

Aw, you really mean "further damaged." My contention is that if it
clunks it isn't right. Furthermore, if some of the new ones didn't work
right, the indictment should be of BL's QC, not the manual. The manual
presumes that the OD is in good working order, not necessarily new.
Anyhoo, I was commenting about that kind of post in general: "The
manuals say I ought to set it like so; is that right?" Why buy the
books?
