Ah, I had a hunch. Almost guessed so. I would stop riding that puck immediately, you’ve got a loose potentiometer and need to fix it. If you continue riding, you run the risk of it breaking mid ride, worse case leading to a full throttle runaway.

It’s a common failure mode for the Hoyt puck, especially if you haven’t reinforced it and/or it’s taken some good smacks with the ground. The solder joints that attach the potentiometer to the PCB get stressed over time, until a lead comes loose and breaks off. Lots of related threads on the forum, ex this one

nbd to repair if you’ve done PCB soldering before, I’ve replaced a bunch of them on my remotes. That said, getting the replacement part is tricky…Hoyt just went out of business. Looks like the website is still up, but I’m not sure they’re still fulfilling orders…rumor is that Hoyt’s stock is going to show up on mboards at some indeterminate point in the future, so maybe you could wait for that.

Alternatively, not saying I recommend this, but you could try re-flowing the joints and reinforcing the pot. Looks like a loose solder joint, not a worn out potentiometer, so that could work. maybe.
