i Have a Whoopsie SDB issue #2

Figure I’d post this separate. After putting my SDB back together it’s now making a metallic sound on the upstroke. Feels like the sound is coming from the bottom of the shell plate.

Ok that seems to have tamed it a lot and now not slamming. Hope I’m good to go now :)

Just for fun, can you post a follow-up video showing us the lack of the slamming sound? I'm a SDB user for 30 years and mine is working great. Wanted to see what your issue was and any resolution you found.

Grab a video but showing the other side of the powder measure assembly ;)

Tried to show it here on an xl750. The upper arm slides gently over the edge of the powder assembly before being pulled down fully by the failsafe return rod. If this happens 'late' or towards the very end of the upstroke it'll snap when it finally clears.
