Thanks for the link, and Keith thanks for the Diagram...
A little more tinkering and it appears I'm missing a couple of parts although I'm having trouble imagining they are critical.
I appear to be missing nut #14 and washer #5 (the rightmost one that slides onto #4 first)
I'm thinking the problem is in the ratchet itself (I looked at it but it looks fine)...I say that because when I hold the lever/ratchet mech. in my hand and turn the post by hand the ratchet doesn't work. If I put the mech. in the bar end pod and tighten the heck out of it, it will work until I put the resistance from the Derailleur on it and then it fails.
I think it might just be shot
