[QUOTE="johnsattuk, post: 441110, member: 183150"] Hi From the symptons, it is most probably some broken teeth on the nylon pinion, it may be a broken 3mm drive pin in the motor shaft or a damaged pinion where the drive pin engages. There are other possibilities but these are the most likely. You will need to take the motor off to find the actual cause. Be sure to secure the dish before taking the motor out, they can damage the dish if it hits the mount. )(-red I think that the biggest single fault of the Fibo mount is the lack of any hard wired limit swithes. The motor has enough torque to break the pinions and/or the drive pin, if accidentally overdriven, this is usually the cause of damage to them. [/QUOTE]
