Another Maggy Problem

[rab shropshire]

Need a quick fix here.

Basically my problem is that the piston within the lever body is stuck, when i pull the lever it doesnt return to its normall position. I have taken out the piston and spring, gave them both a clean and some lube but the problem remains.

Any help would be most appreciated

i had this on my hs11, but i coated it with silicon lube (lots) it lasted for about a couple weeks but then it started doing it again, and then leaked. ur screwed, i think a new piston and spring kit may work but im not sure,

the seals and every thing look fine might try sanding a littke bit off the piston to see if that works, i hope i dont need a new piston

Yeah my lever did this not long ago i took the piston out gave everything a good clean. on mine the rubber ring thing looked abit old and past its best so just changed the rubber ring and its worked great since. or just get a new piston and spring.

Done a bit of research and a few people are talking about a swollen piston, so i took it out sanded it down, stretched the spring a little, popped it back in, gave it a bleed and it seems to be working fine again, but only time will tell thanks to everyone for your help.
