Auto throw owners please help.

I have a full area 419 set up with a fx120, after about 30-40 charges the powder drop kinda hangs up and makes an even worse noise than it does already, any of you experienced this? I hope it’s just an adjustment I need to make. Thanks in advance

It’s a kernel stuck or binding in the Lee portion of throw. Tighten the black center screw 1/32 of a turn and throw it a few times manually, that should fix it

That didn’t help much now it seems to drop unreliably. I’m gonna call them in the morning thank you for your help

Might have to take apart the drum and wipe it out.

I should have been more clear, you have to adjust the screw tightness while moving the arm to get the right tension. Usually if it’s too loose is when some powder will get stuck. It has to be tight enough to throw but not loose enough to let powder snag in the drum. It’s kind of finicky to get set perfectly. The lee powder throw has always been kind of shitty in that respect.

Like the other poster said, pull the body out and wipe it down, the. Reasmble and tighten like above
