The official FABO machinist/member collaboration, busted 340 thread

So this thread will be about a FABO member who bought a previously rebuilt 340, had numerous issues, and the guy who is going to help him out, because we all need help sometimes.
Freakin A my man. Very few of us are a 1 man marching band. Even those that are can always use a second hand in doing stuff. I was such a helper to a few seasoned fellas when I was a young fella. My job hanging around them was hand them a wrench and get coffee or go on a lunch run. I’d just help out asking questions & while they didn’t mind and gratefully answered all questions, I’m sure I was a mild annoyance. Learn I did.

Now the coin has flipped.

It always sucks when you get the hammer on stuff like this. Thankfully, your here and willing to help out. Hats off to you brother.
