[Mesa-users] Help regarding magnetic braking

Hi all,
I am actually running the evolution of binary systems for various donor mass values. However, one thing I have noted is that for some donor mass values - 1.3Msun, 1.4Msun , effect of magnetic braking on accretion is same for both mb on and off. That is, we do see exactly a similar track of accretion(generally for the mb off case, we expect some intermediate drop in accretion when magnetic braking switches off due to star being convective, but in these cases, both cases have a drop). Is it some problem in MESA, or we are missing something? 
Any help is appreciated. Inlists are attached herewith.
