IF you'd like to fix the problem, it's really easy:  The BIG spring loaded
piston on the back end of the unit is sticking. Why?  When I rebuilt mine,
the kit provided a piece of rubber that tucked under the leather band that
runs on the outside of that canister piston.  That rubber is too thick!!  I
learned this the hard way!!  Anyway, if you slice that rubber in half, stuff
it back under that leather band, lube the leather band, and re-install,
it'll work fine!  About a one hour job.
