If its not computerised i dont see how you can reduce PEC, short of the obvious which is to strip down the entire mount and regrease it with good quality lithium grease. Also there is a good writeup on cloudy nights about someone who got their not so expensive mount working like a charm, enough to get 3 minute unguided and over 10 minute guided exposures.
