Check if the "the film shoe rollers are completely seated around the [upper]
sprocket". There are two screw to loose and then you have to push down the
sprocket film shoe assembly. That (partially) solved me the problem (not with
flexible tape splices). Page 58 service manual, B.1.b. :

Check also the film guard arm (the spring in the other side) (pag 59).
I don't know why your e-mails always go in the spam.

Upper loop or lower loop? Tape splices too much flexible? In case make them
double.
