I get it occasionaly, usually going from overun to picking up the throttle again at too low revs which could fit with the centra "slipping".



Adding to Chris and Dan's comments, I note that the Centa inner and outer rotors are described in the parts manual as soft return. I wonder if this implies that slip as suggested is a design feature under extremes of torque.
