Hi all,
I've purchased some replacement springs online that appear to be the right size, however I found them to be too soft.
It feels like the valves are bouncing back and are just a tad too slow returning.
Looking for recommendations on the best source to replace these springs for my Conn 20J with something more firm?

Have your tech order some Conn/Selmer SU30117 springs or the generic Allied A383 springs. If those don't work for you... you might need some other type of piston work.
