Rotational Play in GM811G RA?


Jim Waters
 

How much rotational play should be in my GM811G?? I fixed my DEC Wiggle and am wondering about my RA.? I have a GM811G and the RA does not have the spring loaded worm mod.? Thx

Hi Jim

Any RA backlash is irrelevant, as it only moves in one direction and never reverses.

Understood.? But should there be any side to side play?

How can side play be there unless the clutch is released?

there may be a small amount

If you are grabbing the counterweight shaft and rotating it, keep in mind you have quite an angular lever there, so it may seem like a lot more at the end of the shaft

Okay I had the same perceived issue with this myself Brian, is right about this movement everything is OK. If you remove the DEC section then try to rotate the RA plate by hand if you cant it's good to go. It does seem odd but the RA is constantly moving and the worm will be engaged.

HAPPY SKIES Deric

P.S. Brian, you will be happy to know I have had no further troubles. LOL....?
