I fooled with mine for quite a while. Everything was freed up and lubed, and seemed to work ok, but when I put a load on it, it would bind up.
Part of the casting sticks out on the insid ot the unit( opposite the windshield attach). This part was worn down. Another regulater I have is also worn, so, without a new unit to comare it to, it's hard to say how much.
I cut out a wedge of uhmw, slotted it to slide over the arm, and pinned it on.
This put more pressure onthe tape forcing it to curve more around the main gear, and provided a slippry surface to ride on.
Without the uhmw wedge the tape doesnt have enough of a curve and contact with the gear, and rides over the teeth. after assembling everything in the truck it worked great.
