Happ perfect 360 , It's making a crunching noise.
(1/15) > >>
Keypel:
Just installed a p360.

This is hard to explain but when moving the stick from right to left or up to down it's making a crunching (snapping , boing) sound.

I think it's the spring making all that noise. The stick does not feel smooth. Is this normal?

Here is a video of the problem (56k friendly)

You've got the pivot cone installed upside down.  The wide part goes down, toward the base of the stick.  The small end points up toward the handle.

Checked the pivot cone. It was installed correctly the first time with the wide part going down. Tried it both ways for the hell of it, it's easy to tell the difference.

Any other ideas?

Maybe grease the pivot cone? Change the spring? I have an ultimate joystick, maybe try using that spring in the 360? Maybe buy another perfect 360?

I noticed the spring is super stiff, I have to use a screwdriver to push down the actuator just to put the E-clip on.

with the ultimate you can push the actuator down using just your thumbs.

Hmm.  That's usually it.  It certainly shouldn't be doing that, something's wrong, but there arent really a lot of other pieces to mix up.  Have you got both spacer sleeves installed? (you shouldn't)  Is the main spring somehow not lined up correctly, moving around in the base?  Is the dust washer somehow binding against the handle?  I can't think of any other parts that move or make contact...

Check it all again. I had the same issue in a reunion 4-way. I thought I had it together correctly to, and dismissed the pivot cone. I was wrong.
