    Good advice from Bobw. Also, make sure the friction block isn’t installed backwards. I have good results by lining up the flat part of the friction block, the flat side of the tiller shaft, and the tiller grip screw hole at 12:00. Push the tiller grip on with slight pressure. You may need to turn the grip slightly one way or another for the tab and slot to seat. Once seated, hold the pressure on the grip, and install the screw. It’s a little tricky at first but will be easy after doing it a few times.
