Hey JonF. Thanks, that’s really a useful piece of advice, it never even crossed my mind, and I will try that on Monday. Probeman, we have the same issues with limb springs and I’m looking into available alternatives in Europe. In the meantime, we coil the old and new springs to slightly increase the stress on the carbon rods. It doesn’t seem to affect the sputtering, but it keeps the rods together for longer. It’s not ideal … but it’s better.
