Feinwerkbau 103 charging smoothness

Post by Hunterdude »

Got my new to me used 103 last night! I noticed right away the first 1/3 of charging stroke was gritty, upon further investigation the cam follower is skidding the first 1/3 stroke then rolling. Anyone else have this problem? I am sure Feinwerkbau had it running smoothly when new.
I will try to attach a picture.

Mine is smooth
Maybe you need to clean and lubricate those moving parts

Thanks jerber, upon closer inspection it looks like the original owner put axle grease on it or the stuff that is never to be used in compression chamber. I will disassemble, clean and evaluate, then ad the Feinwerkbau grease. I can not get my phone to load the pictures at this time.
