    NeoTat getting hot

    Hi
    I ve got NeoTat Vivace .Got it in trade. This is my first NeoTat ,I don't have much experience with this kind of machine. Vivace, 3,5 mm stroke. After few minutes of work, motor is getting hot. I ve lubricated it, but it didn't help. As I ve been afraid of it, I use it only for 15 mins, couple of time, trying different setups.

    Anyone had that problem?Is it normal for this machine?
    I used to work with Spectra Direct , edge x

    Is it possibly a counterfeit?

    I never use more than 9 vlts . Maybe with my thunder .. It s getting much more than warm, but not "burning" . Machine looks like this. On the motor it is engraved "made in china" ,and some small numbers. As I said, this is my first Neo Tat, red spring installed.

    I find the trick with the neos is minimal lube, if you use to much of the thick lube I think it causes to much resistance between the slide and the rail and over works the machine. Also where the cam sits in the back of the slide make sure there's not a lot of lube there either.
