Move on to an equatorial mount, be done with the fork mount...... Fork the fork so to speak.
Been there done that, although it wasn't the model you have, I then did my research and bought a g11. As far as the mount goes no problems period, I did flip around with several scopes till I settled on an APO 5 inch. It has its good and bad points but it's a happy compromise.
Given the previous replies, I think you will be wasting your time with the old setup.
As far as a lemon goes..... I'm assuming the mount is yellow .
