Adjustable 510 not adjusting?

[Vapolith]

Greetings all!

I recently purchased a new LP Reo Grand from Reosmods. I screwed my Odin on and it wasn't firing, so I took the allen wrench and tried to adjust it, but it doesn't seem to catch on anything the way an allen wrench normally does. It seems to just be turning, without adjusting anything. My order shipped on April 24th, so it wasn't part of the batch earlier that had 510 issues.

Any ideas?

I just purchased a new one too, last week. The pin uses a torx driver, T6 size. I picked up a nice ratcheting screw driver set from Lowe's for around $8 which includes a T6 torx bit. The pin is reversed threaded, so clockwise will raise the pin out.

Interesting. I have a torx set, so I'll check it tonight. Thanks for the info!

News to me. The 5 new Reos with adj 510's I bought from Rob in April do not have torx grub screws... they came with/use the same allen wrenches all my others with the adj 510's use. Hmmm?

I'll report back after work.

I don't recall mine coming with an Allen wrench, maybe I missed it in excitement receiving #2!
When I first look at the 510, it looked like a torx so I didn't bother trying until I bought the bit set. T6 fits nicely, but after looking closer, an Allen should work.

I need to take a closer look at mine. Damn, now I want to go home and check it out. It did come with an allen wrench though, in the same little baggy as the noalox and business card.

That explains it! I didn't open that baggy as I don't use noalox, I have one of those deoxit pens.

But, the pin is reversed threaded, so go clockwise to raise it. I'm guessing you were going counter clockwise, tightening pin, and spinning the 510 assembly? I'm also guessing that's possible! Sorry if I'm causing any confusion, this is one way I learn things.

Yep, with a look at the allens Rob supplies there is no way you'd be thinking torx.
No foul... (I refuse to use Noalox, and have a big tube of it I bought ages ago).

Mine wouldn't adjust because the allen wrench wouldn't catch. I talked to Rob and sent him a picture and the adjusting center pin was missing. He immediately sent one and problem was solved.

Well, good part is the set I bought wasn't wasted! Been using the heck out of it for small projects around the house!!

Same thing happened here, I got two Reo's and one was missing the adjuster screw altogether. It still doesn't have one, but it still works with my RM2, so it's fine for now.

Mystery solved.

That'll do it, call or message Rob and I'm sure he'll hook you right up with a grub screw. Remember, the screw is reverse threaded left tighten (lower), right will loosen (raise). There should of been an Allen wrench supplied with your grand also in a plastic bag.

Thanks! Yep, already Pmed Rob, and I have the allen wrench that came with it.

I've had the grub screw come loose in shipping only to be found amidst the packing material. Brew

 

[Vapolith]

Wait, does it look like a tiny tightly wound spring? I found it on the counter the same day I unboxed. but thought it came from something else. I still have it. It fits the hex wrench, how does it go back in, from the top or the bottom?

 

[Brew1961]

The top, the top!! But it's reverse threaded so lefty tighty, righty loosey.

 

[Vapolith]

Thanks! I'll try it!
