I'm going to do what I most dislike in others and answer a question when I don't really know the answer ... I don't know if there is any kind of bypass system but I'm going to ask the obvious question - Was the M600 jacked up (wheels off the ground) or moving when you shifted the speed control lever? Naturally the drive belt can't compress so for the pulleys to close the pulleys need to be turning (I know, I know: Make a small hole in the top of the egg and create a vacuum!) Other thoughts: did you have oil in the hydraulic delivery pipe before installation (I'm thinking trapped air might take time to clear making the action poor) Also did you grease the two halves of the pulley? (Grasps at straws!) Good luck, Des p.s. I'm off out now to complete the last tasks and then fire her up for the 1st time in 2 years – it's minus 10c here (Austria) so lets hope it's a quick job.</p></blockquote><p></p>
