Cheers Tom, I thought it was that way.
I don't think it'll be as much as last time as we needed a new motor I think there might be a slight adjustment.

For instance it starts off ok, then will start swinging wildly. Then slow down in pace (had it at 99 and came out about 60ish!) then speed back up.

Refurb needed!

We (very fortunatley) got ours free, A Teacher from a local school, who just happens to play in our team, Donated it to a local club as they did not use it  ;).
We knew it needed repairs but it was a small price to pay for the equiptment we got.
