At one point I had the 76 sec cycle.? Reading up, it was a misalignment issue.? Mine was caused by a DIY SLW design.?

The squeezing of the blocks resolves the 76second issue by making the bearing balls rotate with the worm. This is what preloading worm bearings with the Belleville disc or a properly sizes Bunny O-ring.which does the same thing. This is a well known and tested way to resolve this issue and no secret just not understood by most.?
