"J" head type "millport"(tiwan,1980) clutch

[marksbug]

the high/low speed clutch lever, is there an ajustment to rase the pully /clutch assy?I just got this mill at my house, one of those "refurbished" mills.whatever refurbished is. it has been setting for a few years,never usedor even wired up,since being"refurbished" IT had fallen over in the truck that was delevering it. bent handles,minor bend in the lead screw where handle goes on no problem,I got that straight easy .the freight co paid for another one.so I bought this one. the lead screws had ben changed,cleaned painted,ways epoxied ,yes I said epoxied.& other crap.well after working on it for a few days I finley wired it up.it actuly runs!!! but the spindel pully is rubbing the big timing gear kinda hard in a few places&noisey.if I push the clutch lever a little to rase the assy it stops. I figured I would just make a new stop.wrong!! with the assy to low it wont fully disengauge the clutch to go into low gear,it grinds like hell.(this is a step pully head).I can pull up the assy so it works properly with temp shims under the cam assy.so my question is ,is there an ajustment for this? can I take out the "cam pins" and tighten or screw down that peice that the pins go into ?that would raise the assy& cure the problem. or is it non ajustable already down tight? if so I can make a shim or two to raise the cam assy up from the houseing to accomplish the same thing. I already have to much money tied up into this peice as it is. I looked like just the handles were bent.well the main problems are the refurbishing in a paint can people that scamed the plase that I bought it from.thet evean told them that millport was an off brand econo bridgeport. thanks for any help. I can make just about any thing, but I just dont know everything!!! or is that me in the mirrior???
