Just received my gyro 130 n I've noticed that the shafts coming out of the motor is longer on one side causing the gyro b side not reaching all the way to the end on the bushing. Please help or I may need to return

Here you can see it better. Left side off shaft is longer than right. Took it apart but the shafts is glued onto the magnet.

That means the star bushing is not installed correctly. Please make sure that the flat side of the star bushing is inside the motor block and not on the outside.

I did and it's correctly installed when I take out the motor shaft and magnet it's glued to shaft and longer on one end.
If you can call me it will be easier to explain. 786- 586-0668

Yes, one side is slightly longer than the other. Take the impeller out and flip it. That should fix the issue.

That's how it came assembled from the mfg. It still works but it causes the turbine on one side not to fully engage the bearing at the end. May cause premature bearing wear on that side just my two cents.

Please remove the impeller and send me a picture of it.

OK I will. It is about 1/4 in longer on one side than the other and it's glued to the magnet.

I have the same issue with mine. Also the rotors do not come off easily like you state in videos. Well the rotor comes off easily enough but the black retainer pieces remain stuck on the shaft and are practical impossible to remove. I had to force them off with tools with way to much force and risk snapping the shaft. If you can include some more detail on the videos or instructions since there is no mention of these parts in the manual or video and they both assume this peice comes off with the rotor which it most certainly does not.
I had the same issue and the longer shaft on the one side was causing the rotor to hit the cage when it was spinning causing a very loud noise and vibration. the only way I was able to get rid or this problem was to use a a rotor with a B cage. Which of coarse resulted in very poor flow from that side in either direction. But at least it is quiet and will not damage itself until I someone can come up with a proper solution. This problem was out of the box. Seems like a quality control problem. Is the motor rotor put in backwards? should it be longer if so on what side. and how do you get those black peaces onto the motor shaft without extreme force and same for removing them. Also what are the differences in the black or the other clear/white bushings (Black pieces on the shaft in the first picture shown in the thread) that where supplied. The manual is clearly to vague.
