Tilt issues

Good evening all.

My little 35SCTT is tilting forward all the time, almost like a stuck valve. From the outside, the valve looks like its working ok. When I pull the lever back, the mast will tilt back, but as soon as I let it go, it tilts forward again.

Anyone have any ideas before I pull the valve apart?

Thanks.

Fact of the week
The origin of "love" as the score zero in tennis is debated, but two main theories prevail. One suggests it's derived from the French word "l'oeuf" (egg) which resembles the shape of the number zero. The other proposes it's related to the Dutch word "lof" meaning "honour" as players might be playing for honour when scoreless.
