Hello all,

       Check the dashpot springs. Sometimes folks will strech them. They 
should be the same length. Try swapping the knobs on top and see if the problem 
goes with it. Use some good carb cleaner spray and rags to clean the pistons 
and 
domes, carbon build up can be a problem. If all else fails swap the pistons 
from front to rear. Each dome is precision honed to fit the particular piston 
and they may have been swapped. Check the inside if the tight one for shiny 
spots. It might have a dent in it. I ended up painting one with blue machinest 
dye and using 400 wet or dry to polish out a bump. Let us know what you find.
