    Kirby Avalir actually Sentria G10E?

    Had a disaster today when cleaning them up... Would taking this out cause issues with the tech drive being over keen. It seems to be struggling more on thick carpet now. I removed the part that this attaches to that engages the metal lever that activates the tech drive as it was rusty and I...
