Default Re: Suitable gear mesh

Basically you just want a very little amount of play. If they are tight it will cause premature wear and excessive motor load. Too loose and premature wear quicker. A piece of paper cut close to same width of gear then ran between gears is basically what I do. Newspaper is thin, printer paper should do. Sandwiche it between gears tighten up and rotate it out.
