Tow thing you said " it binds up mechanically " ? but if you OPEN up
the Limit switch it works.
The TANG protruding inside the ring gear is the mechanical lever to open the
limit switch, in it's Stop binding condition, is the tang engaged in the CW
Stop switch ( it should be open and the CCW switch should be closed ? )
