So, this summer I took apart my entire FEL control because it wouldn't raise the loader anymore at all. The one side was completely crunchy rusted--in fact, I completely replaced the ball bearings, the spring, and the little cup dealie that holds all that in place. I drilled the holes that some guy on a forum recommended to let the water out of both valves. Greased it up, reconnected and it worked like a charm.
BUT I never tried the float--just didn't think of it. UNTIL TODAY, when I needed it. It resisted a bit for me to pop it into float, but I shoved it, AND NOW, I can't get it out of float. I really yanked down on the control lever; if I yank any harder I will bend it. It's thoroughly stuck in float. The roll up and back works fine.
So knowing that I totally rehabbed it only 2 months ago, and greased it well at that time, what do you all suppose could be the problem?
Very puzzled,
