I have some questions too. I lost one of the springs and one of the balls under the U-turn. I had everything in a bowl and knocked the f'ing thing off the counter. I, at one time, had all the bearings again and was missing a spring when I stepped in the bowl and knocked it over again. :mumble: I got everything but the 1 spring and 1 bearing. I am thinking I can get a new bearing easily, and pretty sure that I had, at one time, a box of many springs, but cannot locate it now, so I will try to get more later today. Anyhow - it seems to work fine, but I may get a knew knob, as this one's rubber is kind of torn, if I decide to keep this fork. Anyone know if the new knobs include the springs and balls???
Moving on - I changed the oil to 7 wt Torco, and put in the seals that BS sent with the fork. It seems better to me. It has the firm spring, and I weigh 200, so I will likely get an xtra firm spring, if I keep this fork. The fork felt a ton better with fresh oil in it.
For the motion control for stosh - if yours is always locked out, I would pull the compression sleeve out and make sure that it only opens and closes. That thing seems pretty simple, but it could also be o-rings causing problems. I would pull that and make sure that the oil height is 5" from the crown. It's a pretty simple fork, unless you kick everything over twice. If that is the case, it's not so much.
Rambling aside - it may be pretty decent since it is freshened up.
