Hi Chrizg, yeah i had a similar thing happen with Captain B. Zarr's head. From memory i forced the head back to where it should be, during a test. I decided to buy an entirely new motor and assembly unit for Captain B. Zarr. Now she runs perfectly. The old motor could be the problem but its also possible that the internals of the assembly have siezed up a bit over time. Im guessing that's waht happened to mine. The head still worked but would favour one side and fail to return to the CENTRE position fully.
Mate, if you do replace the entire unit, (Bay Area and Marco specialties had them i thnk), its well worth installing a new Jaw-Actuator for better mouth movement. The Captain's rubberised head comes off with a bit of heating and stretching over the jaw section of the head assembly. Older B. Zarr's heads will require more heating. Airgun/hairdrier or boiling water is ok - be suere airgun is on low heat. The Jaw is worth doing as you may need to take the rubber head off anyway and its a very cheap part. Easy to remove and install. Check the schematic for the shape of the jaw to assist in head removal, etc
Highly recommend a new motor and assembly for your Captain B. Zarr, and a new Jaw Actuator.
Makes the head come alive again. Make sure all wires are clear before and during testing of the head, so that he gets an unobstructed rotation.
