I caught the thread for adjusting speed settings at the transducer, not sure if this can apply to mine. ( hope so )


With the cruise set, going up a hill the cruise will lag back 5-7 mph before kicking in and then run at least 10 mph faster before settling back to setting . Is this normal or will the adjustments for the above thread also fix this? Thanks Ed

Sounds like the internals (wheel, contacts, etc.) of the head need a good cleaning an freeing-up.

On the transducer you can try to adjust the tube on the left side which moves the green tube in or out.
Loosen the nut and adjust out 1 turn. You may have to experiment with the adjustment in or out until it works better.

Man I missed this thread, it was another one. Sorry for the trouble and thanks for the info. When the weather breaks I'll give it a try.
Thanks again to bruiser & 7T1 Ed
