I'm up excrement creek with only a tennis racket to row with. I have a Sotar 20/20 I bought a couple years ago. I was getting paint in the trigger assembly. However, my health went south and I only returned to A/Bing recently. The Sotar has sat idle and I thought I'd try adjusting the needle bushing prior to sending it back to the factory. Obviously, paint dried making it very difficult to budge the (brass?) screw in the body housing and I may have stripped it out. However, prior to the attempt, I called Badger seeking advice. I talked to the tech in the department that deals with such matters. He stated I could buy a kit to do it myself and/or adjust it prior to sending it in for repairs. My question is...if the brass plug that covers the Nylon bushing is stripped out, is the bush worthless or will Badger be able to fix it in their shop? That may seem a silly question for it's rare to get help from the corp. Gods these days without having to surrender my first born to them. Am I paranoid? Probably. But, in a just and loving world, I may be lucky. In today's climate, I expect the worst.... I know one thing, I've learned to scorn Nylon bushings. Badger has a good rep and the Sotar also shares the same. But, I wouldn't know because I have little experience with them or it. Any advice? If so, I'll thank you in advance.
