If that does not eliminate the noise, remove the cursor entirely & try the same test.
Many cursors are machined out of alignment & catch on first gear internal faces &/or dogs & I have taken to re-using old OEM cursors with re-ground dog faces because new cursors are so poor......
Thanks for your advice, I'll try this tonight.
