Is there an adjustment for the joy stick for when it is in the float mode? My joy stick is difficult to pull back and has quite a loud snap when it releases from the float position.
Mine does that when micro-grit builds up inside the extension tube. I take the tube off and cleanout the mess, and everything is fine for another few years. In the picture what I call the extension tubes are opposite the side with the handles. If you have float, the extension is longer to allow the greater movement. Undo the two screws, take it off and clean out any gunk.
