So, applying the '"fix" only, with no other regulation at all, not only slowed down the cranky hammer rise, but at the same time made further adjustment (and hopefully little of that) of the spring more sure and more "normal". Is that right? Because if it is, then the fix also maintains a snappy jack, as well as a properly spring-loaded system from check. Good news! (Uh, except for all the extra work we now have to do on new parts!) Boy, do I agree wholeheartedly! Except that the "extra work" maybe might oughta be WNG's fix? And, as well, with the 4:1 ratio (rep to jack) of spring strength, the jack ought to be consistently snappy now. Paul -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
