You will figure it out for sure. I would avoid grease on the pins that engage the foward/reverse gears. I'm sure you noticed that 90%of the grease on the chain drive was flung off the gears and chain. The Lucas red and tacky is like stepping on gum on a hot side walk!!!!Shout out to you ShadOman .....WHAZUPPP!!!
 
Thanks for sharing the pictures. If I’m seeing correctly it does appear that the springs can’t overcome the grease resistance on the pins.

As Mick shared, I too methodically grease as needed with red grease and items such as the pins that need to allow sliding freely a thin film.

Your patience will produce great results.
 
Nice...3 minds solved an issue....amazing how that worked out....l still think the the rc community should govern the world....
 
Tight and right !!!! So glad you took the time to go through everything......you will not be disappointed with it. One last bit of advice, don't remove choke, just bend the arm a bit so it's captured, so to speak by the rubber base of airf ilter otherwise truck c an be hard to start or choke can close while running leaving you very puzzled.....been there, did that...
