I want this to work. But it just won't. Anyone able to help? The mechanism is there and it should be fully functional, but the shaft just keeps repeating and not spinning. Throttle for the throttle.

    I know it's been 9 month, but I have some thoughts on why it won't work and let me know if you'd like to hear them. Looks beautiful though!
