Also double check that the needle isn't shorting at the atty. It shouldn't touch the sides of the GLV head cap and I know that some of them shipped with the needle just a little too long. Check by taking the 3 apart and standing the housing on its head. The needle should be the same height roughly as the top of the "bottle cap" If the needle is too long it will go to short at the atty and possibly cause your batteries to go into protect mode.

Try taking it off the feeder without changing a thing and see if it's hitting. If it is, then the juice post is probably shorting the atty.

If not, try Keyzy's idea. I didn't get an allen wrench but found one around the house that fits. It's worth a shot.

For bottom feeding the juice post on my feeder comes up a bit over the top of the feeder.

Supper nice? So he makes a good dinner? :laugh:



These two (three now?) are top notch people... I think I called three times waiting for my SM and they didn't even seem annoyed, not in the slightest.

And I work in the restaurant business, so I know when people are pretending not to be annoyed! :)

Hi, I'm Monarch, nice to meet ya...
:toast:


I hope he can get that fixed up for ya soon... I would have been a sad panda if I had waited for my GLV and it was haunted with a mischievous spirit...

Hopefully the ghosts in the ol winery are friendly ghosts, and don't mess with our vapor!
