[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 1079908, member: 175144"] In sequence Reverse the connections of the pulse contacts to the positioner , sometimes the reed switch itself has built up a layer of corrosion inside as a result of continuous DC voltage. Coat the outer part of the worm drive with lashings of vaseline (if you are a cheapskate, cooking oil/engine oil - and if really hard up, used pan fat/used engine oil) when fully extended and move back and forwards. Some will make its way into the worm drive. Give the back of the motor a good technical thump, just to clean the spider debris that will be sitting on the cover of the reed switch. Then (if you can), take the back of the motor off and push the reed switch closer to the wheel to get a better signal at the point of pole reversal. Lastly, reverse the magnetic wheel, thanks to earth rotation, and movement of the pole(s), the ferrite have 'lost' some magnetism that was there in the first place, though this is a short gap solution.
