I'm unable to get to the CCT to adjust it. I don't have anything capable of getting down into that tight spot and loosening/tightening it. I'm going to have a shop do it.

Worst case scenario - if there was damage done -what do I need to have done? Engine rebuild? Sorry for the dumb question.

Take a look at that thread. I dont think he could have summed it up any better. Good luck friend!

Awesome. That helps a good bit. That's what I thought I had to do, and was attempting. I'll just need to run out and get a tool to fit in there. Nothing I had at here was able to get in there and successfully turn it. I can't get my hand in between the frame to turn it either.

I seriously just did mine with an APE. I got a socket for the size of that bolt nd wrapped it in a sticky foam tape. Gives you grip nd you can reach it from the top and bottom. It actually worked pretty good. You pretty much use your fingertips.

Might sound dumb - but what did you use on/get to the lock nut?

You can wind the lock nut down flush with your fingers and tighten it from the top. If that makes sense.

Wait, in the picture is that a hose or a bar that's next to the frame. If its a hose you can just remove one end from the gas tank and make getting in there easier. Just make sure you drain the gas with a siphon first :P I learned that from experience the hard way lol. You can pick up a cheap siphon from an auto parts store for like...5 bucks.
