    Looks like way too much spring tension also if I may say the distance from the armature to the spring saddle looks too short as well. May need some spec there as well, maybe cut the armature a little shorter to increase that distance. If you like the machine and it is worth the hassle.

    Take the back spring off straighten it gently with your fingers put it back on the armature bar with front spring. Use the enlightenment tool to put every thing back. Tighten it up. Take your front binder off and pull armature up a little bit just a we bend. Put binder with contact screw back on and that should fix it. But at this point you need to know how much tension you prefer in your liners something you should already know in my opinion. But like others said your duty is to high tension is to high going up. You need to get your duty back down to 50-55

    You shouldn't have to work on a new machine to make it work. Send it back! Use your money on a known quality machine.

    Thanks so much for the offer bro! And cheers for the info from everyone else too. However I have decided to send it back. I'm pretty sure it's the back spring that is causing the problem, I was going to re-spring it myself, but since I have no spare springs lying around I just sent it back.

    If you bought a new car & it didn't run you would be pissed & would return it immediately. Am I right? I would expect a builder to test a machine before selling it to me.
