I have, Phil.

Once with a friend's oversprung HW35.

And also when a BBS member pm'd me asking advice on an issue with an '80.

In both cases, reducing the spring upped the power and massively improved the firing cycles.

I'd suggested it earlier in the thread as, going by Pete's description, the preload amount and difficulty in fitting sounded a little scary.

Hope you're keeping well, sir.
