That happens to my BP clone every now and then.
Mine is just like a BP, I know this because a BP sits about 10' away from my clone and I can match things up.
The 1st time it happened I tore things apart, only to find it was gummed up with WD 40 residue.
I cleaned it up and it worked fine. The couple of times it's failed my since I just soak it down with PB Blaster and away I go.
The WD 40 comes from my using it as lube when cutting alum.
THANX RICHPeople say I'm getting crankier as I get older. That's not it. I just find I enjoy annoying people a lot more now. Especially younger people!!!
