Often, when a self timer lever falls off (om-1 thru 2N), the inner washer
falls off too and is lost. When the lever is reassembled without it, the
lever is too tight. The lever not being straight is an internal adjustment
that would require pulling the front casting out of the body to adhust. The
fact that it only runs for 6 seconds is odd. Does the lever go all the way
down to the 6:00 position when you wind it?
