i am new to the sight but after looking around a little i think i found the right place for some help. i have a 70's modle colchester mascot 1600 lath and it has worked good for a long time but the rotational dive is starting to act up on me now when i push the engaugement arm down it seems to take a minute or more to get up to speed but if i lift the arm to rotate the other way it takes off instantly i checked all my linkages andthey seem to be working ok i also took them off and tried to enguage it directly on the shaft but it did not make any diffirence i drained the fluid and it seemed to start a little faster so i flushed the system and replaced it with what the tag said but it is still very slow so i took the top cover off and checked it out in their everything looks ok but their seems to be a little more slop in one clutch pack then the other kinda lost can the clutches get out of wak and need ajusted over time or should i be looking for the problem some wear else any input would be great :confused:
