Meade LX10 question

I just got a new in box meade lx10 from here. And contrary to what the manual said (or someone had already messed with it) it was not set for the norther hemisphere. I fixed that easily enough, but it still is not tracking very well. I is better when I turn the motor on, but it seems that the motor is not moving fast enough. When I use the hand controler, press east it does move back and when I press west it does move out of FOV faster. Is this due to improper alignment of the mount or does the motor need adjustment. When I changed the hemesphere, I did see a potentiometer. could this be a speed adjustment? I also have the objects in view drifting down a little. Which axis is out for that. I am looking almost directly up with a diagnal.
