RE: Robart air up/spring down retracts won't lock down
I find it hard to believe that nobody has a fix for this problem with Robart spring down retracts. I know other people have had to have trouble with the nose gear locking down because mine only locks down about 2 out of 3 times. And that's with no head wind working against it. Guest I'll have to call Robart. I'm thinking of adding an external helper spring but hate to mikey mouse a unit that is suppose to work as advertised.
Thanks Colin and John for your replies. Both your comments helped, but still the authority that the retracts lock down with just is not there. Now I'm wishing I had rebuilt my old set of Rohm Air Retracts, but thought that something new would be better than something 30 years old.
