DF-67

[tcypy1961]

What would cause a DF-67(Ricoh Aficio 350/450 Document Feeder) to sluggishly feed the originals onto the glass? I have changed the lead-end pulley and the paper feed belt. How likely is the limit roller to be a cause of this problem? Basically the feeder seems to struggle to take the original in and sometimes it doesn't take the original at all. What other possible causes could be causing this problem besides the feed rollers? Any help appreciated, thank you.

As if I can remember that was one of the odds of that DF sometimes it would feed the hole job: there was a MB for that.

Have you checked out the one-way bearings/gears in the drive train? Be sure to check the one-way where the feed roller drive shaft fits into.

Yep +2.
I thought that would have been looked at in the first place and by the way a bit of cleaning on the end of that shaft that fits into the one-way with oil and #o sandpaper would be great too.
