After rescoping the o/p levels of the ACE assy,I noticed the levels on 24 & 40 p/b were greatly reduced compared to the 8 p/b.I should have picked this up on my initial checks.Cleaning the ACE head helped a little.Replacing the ACE assy fixed the problem.Realign & good to go.Part# for this assy is 613-184-3844.......
