Well, let me counsel just a little restraint. I started with that theory too. But that little piston cap with the slot is a high pressure exit. I believe the o-ring for it is spec'ed incorrectly, and my playing with it has shredded more than one oring so far. The more likely culprits are the oscillator main o-ring hardening and drying out, or the oscillator spring lacking sufficient tension. And as you'll see soon, putting a "standard" 2-117 on the oscillator will often not work.I looked at what you have posted so far and I believe my problem was the adjustment.
