This sounds interesting. The rotor has a slot in it - it can only go on in one position. This is very important. If the rotor isn't in exactly the right position, then it won't work. How did you "end up turning the rotor a little"? You pushed it onto the shaft then turned it? And which spring clips do you mean? The ones holding the cap on? Take the cap and rotor off. Examine the rotor and teh shaft. Do you see the slot I'm talking about? Push the rotor on so the slot lines up. You shouldn't be able to turn it now. If you can, something is wrong. > Or would the connections and > feedback sensors automatically adjust for that? No, there's no feedback, nothing. The rotor has to be in the right position. -- Grunff
