My Lee 4-20 has two screws that hold the lifting lever onto the pot. One on top and one on the bottom. The top screw had gotten loose over time and wouldn't tighten up. I took some aluminum tape (beagling tape) and wrapped it around the screw threads and screwed it back in. Tightened right up. Time will tell how long it will stay that way but I have a whole bunch of that tape.

If you remove the screws you can take the panels out and just squeeze the inside channel shut a little and that will also solve the problem. Hard to describe, easy enough to do.

If this doesn't last, I'll give that a try. Thanks.

Good thread... I also own the Lee 4-20 and face the same issue. Will have to tune it up.
