Clean speed resistor
  • Rotate the speed dial until the feeler contacts are visible in the gap.

  • Spray with a plastic safe contact cleaner and rotate back and forth.

  • Check the resistor values at the slow speed settings. They should range from around 9 kΩ (at 60) to 200 kΩ (at 4s) with no dead spots.

  • Clean the seat for the high speed cam with isopropyl alcohol. A narrow cotton bud or a floss pick work well.

  • Lubricate the high speed cam seat with shutter oil.
