If its tip, then its likey to be the cable that runs from the barrel to the tip lever. There's a little plastic lug that it moves behind the barrel. Do a seach you'll find it - if not here then on ftooc :wink:

Yep, that worked for me too ..... to start with

Then it got REALLY stuck, took the silly bit of plastic out (well - actually it fell out as soon as we opened the housing up) and no more problem.

If yours ever gets stuck Kaz - give us a hoy, Roberts had practice fixing this 8)
