It is not uncommon for the 1/4" bolt on top of the rotor to become loose.  
since this bolt suspends the main drive gear that gear starts to drop.  it will 
slowly move against the Limit Switches thus they engage and disengage 
erratically.  quite common problem with mine, I did replace the top clamp with 
one from K7LXC andhave had no issues since

I have a DC M2 Orion rotor that is giving me some trouble. It will only turn 
from 108 to 360 degrees plus a little back thru about 13 degrees. I feel like 
it is against a control box limit. How can you clear it?
