New to this forum hopefully someone can help me with this. I just purchased this lift its in really good shape for its age with only 150 hrs on it. The lift goes up nice and smooth but when I go to lower it there is no feathering at all it just basically drops everytime you pull the lever. there is plenty of fluid in it it just seems like theres a valve or something that is stuck and lets the oil return to fast to the tank.
Any ideas?
Thank you
Bart
