No oil came with my TM either so don't feel bad. You know what, it sounds like it's not broken in. Do you have Tony's phone number...? I know he won't do business on Sunday. You know he's like Amish light, right....Anyway, if you pm me, I'll give you his phone number. He loves to talk shop. Tell him your woes. I think your strop needs breaking in. Tony may have advice...he's a good guy, you shouldn't be having trouble. I know he'll make it right.....Rich
