Hi,

I'm installing a set of Robart air up/spring down retracts #514 nose gear and #510 main gears in a Saturn pattern ship I am re-storing.
The problem is the nose gear retract will not lock down. The spring appears to be too weak. I have checked to make sure it is not binding, even removed the unit from the mounting rails. I haven't tried the mains yet.
Is there an easy way to solve this problem? Possibly a stronger spring in the cylinder? I have read all the post I can find on this problem but none of them seem to give an answer.

Anyone that has solved this problem PLEASE let me know what you did. I don't want to send them back to Robart if I can fix them myself.

Thank you,
