Hi bja105, thanks for the help. Have had trouble finding/opening my messages.I did open the tufftorq and found that the washer behind the pump that is activated by the small pin on the release lever is missing.Hence it made no difference whether mine was in or out.
Hi BXinNH,Thanks for your help.I did open the Tufftorq and found the washer missing that pushes the pump forward.Hence it made no difference when i operated the lever.
