Mag-Stik Plus sometimes sticking "Up"
<< < (2/2)
kowal:
Selection switches can help. Similarly turning over actuator about 90 degrees. Cause this well-fitting tightly 'pivot'. I have 4 mag-sticks and I gave to them mat from foil and this helped. Too large gap among "pivot/base" it causes the asymmetric throw and engagement of stick. This is the most visible when joystick he be installed in panel under angle (axis Y)

With three of the switches the plastic lug is nearest the activator, but on the 4th switch the screw and lug are reversed so the screw is nearest the activator.  It's hard to explain in words but anyone who looks at the joystick base will see what I mean. This 4th switch moves about more than the other three (in relation to the activator) and thus seems to cause the most problems.

You are correct.  The switch that is "different" from the rest is the one that is giving me problems.  I will need to check it, to make sure it is tight. 
ChicagoDave:
I ended up loosening the screw on the switch in the top left hand corner.  This allowed the switch to have a little "give" and helped the switch not to stick.  It  passed the first test, so I'll see how it goes....
