Re: Clayton's spring and banding problems

[Clayton Tume <tume@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ron.....after a clean and lube I ran the mechanism lots of times to see if I could spot anything obvious and I did!

 

At slower speeds you can see the gear train pulsing........the gear that matches the band width momentarily slows down then speeds up again. It's like watching the timing marks on a car engine with a strobe light.....you know how they show up and appear to be stopped even though the engine is turning over continuosly.

 

The gear is a blur...but every now and then you see two or three teeth as if they've stopped. Something must be dragging or catching to do this......is this a sign of something worn in there.....maybe worn bushes?

 

Any ideas?
