Feed Unit jamming ricoh 2051/Gestetner DSM 651

I agree with the leaking developer/feed unit replacement advice. I have seen this several times over the years. I have NEVER had any luck with the feed unit rebuild. Replacement has always been the fix along with addressing the leaking dev unit.

Don't do anything before stopping the developer leak or you will be replacing the one ways twice. If you are only replacing the one ways, you will most likely need to disassemble the entire unit (s) and clean all of the bushings and roller shafts of developer also. There is also a bulletin which describes a belt tensioning procedure for the feed station drive motors.

Last time I did one of these it was a 3 hour call.
