Thereafter, it will start to lockup every now and then, i.e. the 2-speed adaptor shaft gets stuck in the 1-way. This is easily resolved by gently turning the 2-speed adaptor shaft clockwise and then it will come out fine. It will come to a stage where the needle pins in the 1-way will dislodge and then I have to change a new set.
I clean and relube my 1-way b4 each outing.
I use a combination of 1-way lube and associated diff grease.
can someone please please please please tell me what i'm doing wrong? The other serpent drivers at my track are puzzled as hell as well.
sounds like either there is too much play or something is binding. make sure everything is seated properly and there is minimal play
