Yeah,I get it George. Trust me, very familiar with stamped rockers. I was just sayin Briggs did this to go cheap. Also the prior design was nice because it had a piece between the 2 rockers that aided in adjusting. The new ones are separated so when you go to adjust them, they twist almost to the point that the rod can and has fallen out of the rocker. The old rocker type had much less twist.
In any event I did get them adjusted obviously and should be fine for many years. It was a fun project and I am happy with the results. Now that everything is running correctly the new to me 1641 will get much seat time as it will now be my go to cutter. This will give the 126 a break and it will be coming into the shop for refurbishment once the 100 is finished.
