    It's probably binding. Take the RPM needle and pull out on it just a little bit.

    If you bumped a needle in any way, they can push in too far. Check the needle that's giiving you problems by pulling it out very gently. You don't need to take it all of the way out. If it's too far in it will bind and jerk(like you're experiencing).

    PM me your address. If you're near the cities(which i believe that your not) i can meet you. Otherwise, i can mail if you pay for the shipping. I don't need any monies for the bulbs.;)
