Just trying to suggest what might cause it, got to be something you are over looking........Curt

Mag on backwards, keyway at 1 O'clock? You got something wrong, wire shorting out, or bad parts..........Curt

Try replacing the plug, and plug wire for a better one...........Curt

Save your old nozzles and put them in a sealed jar with some lacquer thinner in, will clean and keep them ready to reuse, if you get a plugged one .........Curt

What did you use for paint, or coating...........Curt

This may not be good as U bolts will rock under your pedal strain, and like exhaust clamps will crush the tube if tightened to tight. I would say to find the right spot and weld it in place.............Curt

Yes get the cheep one, they will work fine. My 24tpi worked fine, and when done they will just lay in a drawer, and maybe not get used again.. Curt

I thought myself just by watching other, had welding in school be that was way before mig's come to home owners. Yours looks good.......Curt

I would think if you went to local bike shop and see what they have, they also carry it in bulk, if you just need a piece..........Curt

I use these, bust the plastic off and use them in my drill, could be extended easy..........Curt $4 at harbor fright.

Put it on some wood blocks and use a bottle jack, long 2x4 under a door opening, press it back straight. The head tube on the Schwinn looks shorter.......Curt

Best is to find someone with a press, and use blocking in the right places, and press it back. That way you wont bend a wheel or something else...........Curt

That fork does look bent up by the head tube were the rat trap mounts.........Curt

Cut the top tube ( now bottom tube ) and flip it..........Curt

When you do a fork like that the strongest thing you can do is drill a couple holes above and below the seam, and do a couple rosiest welds...........Curt
