CGX Noise

[SiriusDoggy]

Can someone please take a look at this video and tell me what they think.
I've got a horrible noise coming from the Dec motor only in one direction.

Thanks!

Try to identify where that sound is coming from by pressing your ear close to the belt or motor. Remove the pulley belt and see if the sound happens. Try flipping the belt round. How long you had the mount and has it just started happening?

I found a post on another forum that talked about this problem. Apparently, it's very common among the CGX and CGX-L mounts. I made the adjustment recommended and that seemed to solve the problem. Now I just have to wait for clear skies to see if that adjustment has affected tracking and/or backlash.

Hi. Would you care to show what adjustments you made and any info you might have. My mount is suffering exactly the same issue, and it's ruining my guiding and subs

It's been quite a while but I think this was the post that helped me solve my problem.
