Hi all,
Of late, the girl has been getting a little stiff. I know the Canberra winter can do that, even at my age, but she is still a young thing and kept spotlessly clean and back flushed regularly. It got to the point where moving the lever was becoming a two action operation, not the smooth fluid single Im used to. No difference in resistance no matter how long shes been on or what number of shot Im up to for the day.
Refering to Chris post of the exploded parts diagram pages 1-3 on page three, I disassembled the complete lever only section. I did not venture into the top or the bottom valve section. It all came apart reasonably easy, but I couldnt really see where I could clean or lubricate to reduce the friction. With the lever body disassembled, the resistance was still there.
Anyway I put it all back together again, no spare parts (
good thing) left over and wouldnt you know, its working fine now. Anyone done this before / care to explain the ins and outs?
Cheers
Boris.
