[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1146370, member: 176704"] Neither - the backlash adjustment inside the motor may have tightened up. If this actually a Superior Dark Motor clone then there's an adjustment screw behind a small hole (covered by a "Do not remove" label!) on one side of the motor body which is on the Righthand side when the motor is viewed from the LNB. That hole may well be partially covered by one of the motor mounting brackets, but releasing the 2x bolts on that side of the motor should allow clear access to the adjustment screw. Then adjust the screw [I]very carefully in very small steps [/I]so that the motor moves fairly easily when driven! Then fill the access hole with some grease, refit the mounting bolts and (hopefully) the motor will then work correctly!? OTOH, the opposite usually happens and the backlash becomes looser! This whole subject has been covered quite a few times on the forum, so do a bit of searching if you think this might be the issue. [/QUOTE]
