Re: Garage Door Problem
This is a chain drive motor. The motor and chain drives a mechanism that can be attached to and unattached from the lever kind of thing that is attached to the garage door.
If the mechanism is attached to the door, it can open the door, but jams when trying to close it. When I disengage or unattach the mechanism, I can then manually close the garage door. The leaves the attaching mechanism some distance when where it is supposed to be attached to the door. When I then start the closing cycle, it works. The mechanism travels down to the attaching point of the door and reattaches itself.
So, motor does run, and it can cause the chain to move the attaching mechanism properly. It just can't do the closing cycle when the door is attached.
I wondering if don't need to lubricate something? Is WD40 ok to use?
Good advice about the spring. Just looking at it tells me it's dangerous.

Another cat? Perhaps. For love there is also a season; its seeds must be resown. But a family cat is not replaceable like a wornout coat or a set of tires. Each new kitten becomes its own cat, and none is repeated. I am four cats old, measuring out my life in friends that have succeeded but not replaced one another.--Irving Townsend
