it by hand I get a false nuetral for second.
Ive adjusted the chain and cable according to Sheldons site and determined
it must be an internal problem after too much time spent trying to adjust
it and count wheel/crank spins. Ive take the hub apart and can see how
it works (sort of

) but I cant determine what might be making give
a total neutral spin in the second gear position. Any suggestions ? Pawl ?
I can see it might have not had an easy life

Thanks in advance !!

Lem,

Try this link for Sturmey Archer repairs and adjustments. The guy seems to have about all of the covered. And here is another one it is for the SW hub but a lot of the basic information is the same.
