Default NX remote opener?

Just finished the install of the NX remote opener and found it will not open or close the bottle,just kind of rocks the valve a little then nothing. Lots of noise when pushing button ,but will not turn valve. WHY? It is like there is not enough umph to turn it,what can i do,are there any adjustments to this thing for torque? It is on a 15lbs NOS bottle,Kit only is about 1.5 years old. I installed it with the bottle open,anything i can do? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Thanks for the info, i will look into both ideas. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> . Grounded at bracket under steering column,will find better ground.Also will check into clutch adjustment at top of motor. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

The clutches for the opener are adjustable.Sometimes it needs alittle adjusting.NX makes the openers for ZEX.There is a slight difference in the inner rings diameter.

Come on guys, tell me how to adjust this clutch for the opener, please. I removed it from the bottle and opened everything up and found nothing that looked like an adjustment to me. NEED HELP. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" />

Ed LS1 Vert-Thank you for that info,that helps a ton. The instruction sheet that came with the kit was a terrible copy printed on a single sheet of paper and did not have that picture of the clutch on it. Thanks again. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
