Title: Bonnet release
Post by: pauls on 22 February 2014, 22:34:08

Picked up my new omega today. One of the problems it has is that the bonnet sticks. I have had a look but cant find it. Is they a guide to adjusting the bonnet catch.

also worth checking the Bonnet Pin itself is not loose or out of alignment, either way after the fix give it all a good clean up and a re grease  ;)
