Hey, Im new here... apologies if people ask this all the time but... I just bought a place that came with a 1977 VC Vigilant... and i cannot get the top damper to close. It's in the open position now and I have the feeling the previous owners just used the thing like an open fireplace. It wont budge... I have cleaned out around the whole damper, tried prying it up without any luck, didnt want to try to hard and break it... it looks a little red around the handle bar (took the handle of with the set screw) and think maybe its rusted shut? can this happen? also wht product is best used top free this thing up? or how should i go about opening her back up? PB Break? WD40? pry harder? also tried vice grips on the handle pole... no luck just started biting into the metal...
thanks for any help...
