Greg, can you tell me the bits of the instructions that are missing? The mount has some problem which although intermittent is real, I've gone around in several circles with this problem, I have a half useful mount, if I had bought this in Aus, it'd be back with the agent.

Sorry only just now seeing this.

The cam pin adjustment lacks a few points. Fristly the 2 threaded rod type screws that stick up on the block on either side of the cam pin may or may not need adjusting. I looked at mine and compared it to the drawings which show them sitting quite low. Mine were sitting high.

These 2 screws if not right will cause the gears to slip no matter how many times you adjust the cam. They determine the tension. I was advised by SB they should be 2.25 to 2.5 turns open from fully screwed in. I did that on mine, then adjusted the cam and no more slippage issues and no more stalls. I was getting an occassional stall from too much tension yet if I slacked it off too much I was getting gear slippage. So its a tad sensitive.

My mount has the black belts. I am now wondering if my sudden PE spike was in fact some junk off the belt stuck on the pulley and hitting every couple of minutes or so. I will keep that in mind. I think I'll ask for a couple of grey belts to be sent to me just in case.

Greg.
