If not you should get one. If the WS-6 washer is inside the spring you do not have it assembled correctly. On the GM1 you should have the spring, a AN970-6 washer ( its diameter shold be larger than the springs outside diameter), the HF-6 Bearing, and finally the WS-6 washer. The assembly is held together with a AN6-32A bolt and AN365-024A locknut with the head of the bolt facing foward. This is all shown on page 5-31 in the manual.

Are you working from the Construction Manual.  If not you should get on= e.  If the WS-6 washer is inside the spring you do not have it assemble= d correctly. 

On the GM1 you should have the spring, a AN970-6 washer ( its diameter shold= be larger than the springs outside diameter), the HF-6 Bearing, and finally= the WS-6 washer.

The assembly is held together with a AN6-32A bolt and AN365-024A locknut wit= h the head of the bolt facing foward.  This is all shown on page 5-31 i= n the manual.

It was definitely the springs. I got the new springs
today and exchanged them on the plane. It worked
immediately.The old spring was almost an inch shorter
and the gauge of the wire was .010 thinner.  The
inside diameter of the coil was much smaller than the
new ones and the WS6 washer fits inside of the coil
and does not bind it at all. Thanks for all of your
help. Fly safe.  Jim
