speed issues

We have varying speed our shooter motors, the speed varies from ~100 to ~500 un-calibrated encoder units with a period of maybe 4 or five second. This happens more on one wheel of the shooter than the other, but it happens on both. I started attacking the issue as a programming problem removing all feedback from the Labview program. After that failed I swapped out the talon, after that didn't fix the problem We reverted the shooter from CAN to PWM. The problem go better but it still exists, whole ever I haven't measured it yet after dropping CAN. I've not had any reason to believe that this is happening with the drive system

Any ideas?
