Ok.
I was just playing steel for the last hour. All of a sudden my right knee right made a loud click and now my lever isn't working correctly. The lever changes both F# to G. Now only the high G#is moving, and not far enough. It's not getting to G. I've checked the collars and they are all tight. The second F# isn't pulling at all!
Help

| Is the bell crank tight on the crossbar? Does it still click when you turn it over? Most likely something came loose and is binding somewhere. |

| Like Jack said, something came loose. Most likely, I'm guessing it was the collar for that pull. |

My vote is the bellcrank is loose on the crossbar, like Jack said.

| and if not, i'd guess it's the collar that adjusts the knee lever..up behind the backside of the lever..it connects/adjusts the pull rod that activates the crossrod. these need to be really tight or they can slip. no big deal! some times two collars is more secure. |

That's what I'd check first as well, since both pulls are affected (albeit, to varying degrees).
A 4" long T-handle 5/64 Allen wrench makes these type of adjustments easy.

Well I found a section. On that knee lever train where a spring was full extended. I got the knee leverin place and tightened the collar. R both pulls are coming up to pitch now. Hope I didn't mess anything up. Everything seems fine tho.
