I already opened it back up to verify that the mechanism was working properly. Everything is clean, lubed, swings super easily in there, maybe too easily, hence my theory as to the problem. The springs seem pretty light. Ever heard of anything like this? It's the only idea I have as to what might be causing this.
I'll go measure the old springs and see how long they are and then decide if any of yours might fit it. I only want enough tension to retard the advance when I'm off the throttle, but I want the advance in between 2,500 and 3,000. That beefy spring of yours might put be back to no advance......
EDIT: OK, no wonder it's opening to easily. BOTH the OEM springs are stiffer than the replacement springs. The lighter of the two is 11/16 and looks like it might have similar tension to that blue spring, so maybe I'll give that a shot. The heavy spring is 13/16 and can only slightly be moved with your fingers. So I guess an MSD spring kit is the right move and will give me some options.
