[pianotech] WNG jack don't come back no more, no more, no more.....

Mason & Hamlin have considerable experience using these parts!
Why don't you call WNG? 
They are highly invested in these parts, and will work with you to resolve the problem.

All the geometry looks good, and  I have put more spring in than is comfortable to play, raised the rep lever until there is a noticeable gap between the height of the jack, and when I pull the jack out from under, and let it go, it will not return.
