I have a Proto 2000 GP38-2 that I installed a Digitrax DH165LO decoder in.
It’s having issues jerking/running sluggish in low speeds [especially in reverse] When increasing the speed it will hardly move.
I took it apart and clean the gears, made sure they weren’t split, lubed and made sure everything was moving freely but only slightly better.
I recommend I replace the motor because the original might have a dead spot, so I tried 2 new motors with no luck.
I contacted Digitrax and they had me do a decoder reset and suggested I clean the pickups, which I did. Double checked all the wiring.
Still Nothing changed
I do have another GP38-2 which after decoder install runs great.
Does anyone have any ideas or recommendations? or would know what might be causing this? Thanks
