Re: Strange Overdrive Noise

I'll take O_D's suggestion a bit further. My recently acquired Custom Super Clipper was making a buzzing sound when the OD knob under the dash was pushed in, but the OD would not engage unless the knob was held in. When pressure was released from holding in the knob, the noise would return. It turns out that the outside of the OD lockout cable had come loose from the knob-cable housing. There is also a switch on this housing. I secured the outside part of the cable to the housing using a clamp I devised, and this fixed the problem. The sound was definitely a mechanical sound not an electrical one. Wishing you an easy fix.
