Thanks Dave, Riki, Howard, for taking the time to reply; appreciate it. The problem with my handle unit is, it's riveted together. Short of grinding the rivets off and opening it up, it is very hard to see how the 'guts' are supposed to be/work. I will take some pics tomorrow and post; maybe somebody can shed some light on why it doesn't engage. All I know is the 'thumb trigger' to release the gear when the brake is set, has really nice spring tension, but the pawl flips around and if it does engage, its only by chance.
