Feeder Problem

[Throwin Darts]

I have the Buccees All Season stand and fill. It wasn’t spinning. I replaced the timer and put a new battery on it. It spun once but real slow. Tested again and it barely spun. 3rd test on and nothing happens. Any ideas?

I have to ask was the new battery charged before you put it in?

[Pushbutton2]

Can you spin the plate freely?
We had a couple of similar issues.
1 was bad timer the other was stuck spinner plate

Yes. Tried multiple batteries and confirmed they were charged

bad motor maybe?

is the plate loose on the shaft? check the set screw to make sure it is tight

bad motor maybe?

This.

Check k the wires also. The area that go through the guard. I had 1 a couple weeks ago rub through

Check and see if you are getting voltage to the motor when itsturned on

I'd say bad motor. I had a similar problem once. Pulled the motor and checked it out. All rusty inside. Clearly, somehow, had been underwater at some point.

Go straight from battery to the motor and that will tell you motor or not.

Its the motor. I've had to replace a couple of them. Think its another design flaw of those feeders. All the pressure pushing down on it wears them out faster.

This. I had a hog push the wire cover and pinch a wire.
