Won't lower

This is a MPE060LEN24T2742 SN#B897N01768S. It will not lower, on going issue. Curtis handle held displays that its getting a lowering input signal, the main contactor, hydraulic valve assembly and lowering coil have been changed (new) but still can't get it to lower continuously. (SPARATIC) at first I could mess with it and get it to lower. Now can't, any ideas?

Does it have a bent or damaged lift cylinder or the lift linkage rusted/ dry?
Chunk of wood wedged in the linkage?
The hydraulic valve on the pump is only a lowering valve that opens a pathway back to the tank and the forks lower by gravity. So if any of the above happens.
Will it lower with a load on the forks?

Fact of the week
Funerals in Spain typically occur within 24 to 48 hours of death, whereas in other European countries they wait one or more weeks. This rapid timeframe is a cultural norm grown from the past need to manage the warm climate without modern embalming.
