Unhappy bumpy east slewing

Hello all,

I have a problem when I slew the scope east. It "stutters" and I can see it stop then shudder along in a "catchup" then smooth then stutters etc etc. Slewing west is no problem. I have tried to get the balance right as well as possible but of course as the angle of the scope changes so does the force at the end of the lever - camera, focuser etc. I have stripped the whole mechanism down, cleaned it and re - seated it without any improvement in the problem.

Any suggestions would be very greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Richard
