Setup:
Hoyt U-Tec, 60lbs, 28.5" draw, Cam & 1/2, XT2000,VT Limb Driver, Bucknasty Strings (floating yoke), Orig. cable slide & rod
I just discovered that the serving on the buss cable (lower cam end) has been cut open by the cam. I have noticed a little rough spot on it from the contact of the cam and always kept it waxed heavy hoping it would help. Guess I was wrong. I put the rig on a draw board and have found that the small round cam is what is rubbibg against the cable chaffing it. Someone told me to check the cam bushings and I "believe" it is correct. The thicker bushing on the left side and thinner on the right (looking at it from the string side). Another suggestion was cam lean. With the cable slide on...the top cam leans into the cable guard and the lower away from the cable guard. With the cable slide removed...the top cam is straight and the lower cam is still leaned away from the cable guard. I know with a static yoke you can fix the upper cam lean...but what about the lower cam? Also, how tight should the cam bearings be? I can move both cams a little...but what are the tolerances for this.
Needless to say this came at a VERY bad time! Bow season starts in 10 days here. I have the original cable that I can put back in for the time being, but I need to figure out what the problem is before I chew up another cable. Any ideas or guidance would be greatly appreciated. I hate to have to send it back to Hoyt at this time of the year.
Thanx, Dave
