I had an interesting chat with a BHI fellow yesterday regarding automatics misbehaving. He said that any good automatic if left for weeks without being used will take a few days to regain its designed power reserve potential and will therefore keep stopping for a couple of days.

What is your winder set to or is a generic wider without settings. Bill
