Sky-Watcher AZ EQ5-GT RA Clutch Problem

[valleyman]

Was out last night all ready to go for a astro session. Was doing a PA with the ASI Pro. Came to setting the scope back to the Home Position but the RA motor would not return the scope. Set it back manually and tried to move the RA with the Mount control on ASI but it would not move.

Having given up last night on a perfect night for Astro, had a look this morning and my thoughts are that the Clutch clamp is going tight in to its housing but there is still slight movement in RA and you can still move the RA on full clamp. My gut tells me the clutch needs adjusting but no idea if this can be done. On mounts I have had in the past(there has been a few ), When you tighten the clutch there should be no movement .

The Dec clutch is rock solid when tightened with no movement.

The steppers are working and there is drive to the clutch.

Any suggestions please
