I have an old Kiwa Colt 510 and the spindle encoder finally went out. Cleaning up the area around the encoder ( hot water spray, not pressure wash ) I am curious if I got any water in the spindle cartridge. I feel like its making more noise than it did before I had to replace the encoder. Granted the sheet metal is off the head, but I wouldn't think that would make much of a difference in sound. I don't see any subsequent leaking out of the nose, so maybe no water intrusion?
Does anyone have experience with funny spindle sounds? It FEELS like it did before the replacement...
